Any set photos or rendering to share? There are a few Set Designers on the board (myself included) that would love to see!

Posted: 5/28/06 at 10:49amOk, now I am going to have to make sure my work-related trip to Chicago happens before the beginning of July. Won't be the first time I have conveniently scheduled it due to theatre, but I am in love with this show and it never seems to be staged around here.

Hey all.
BoHo Theatre's production of SIDE SHOW just got Jeff Recomended. That means it will be eligible to be nominated for a Citation or two.
Um.....Or Not.

Saw it last night.
It is one of the best small-scale musical productions I've seen in a long time.
Even more amazing--the lady who played Violet was sicker than a dog and had lost her voice earlier in the day, but still came out like a trouper and gave a wonderful performance (and the Daisy was wonderful, too).
Bohemian Theatre Ensemble is a wonderful company that deserves the support. Unfortunately, the critics from the dailies didn't show up last night (Jones didn't reserve and Hedy didn't show up), so it may take a while to get out the word. Perhaps these message boards can make a difference. I hope so.
(And Bohemian company member Jess Godwin, one of many excellent musical theater performers who've been popping up in town over the last few years, is in "...tick...tick...BOOM!" over at Pegasus, along with Robert Ingersoll, who has received amazing reviews for this show. His wife Angela just finished a show-stealing turn as Martha in Porchlight's "Secret Garden" and will be Nellie in "South Pacific" for Light Opera Works for the next two weekends at Northwestern's Cahn Auditorium in Evanston--her presence alone gives the production an unseeen recommendation. The run is so short because LOW does big, old-school Broadway-style productions of their shows, complete with 30 pieces in the pit and no synthesizers.)

Posted: 5/29/06 at 8:50pmI so wish I lived in Chicago! I love side show sooo much!
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Posted: 5/29/06 at 10:36pmI'm planning on going... when I saw Tick Tick Boom last week they had little postcards for Side Show so I took one... I'm sure I'll get there at some point.
Measure your life in love, RENTheads, and keep it always in your heart.
