At the Goodman, an all black production of Proof(scratches head) will have just started...while I have already have almost all I could want of Proof...it's stars Karen Aldridge who is somewhat the It girl here in chicago right now and as i can attest is completely wonderful in everything she has done. Also in the production is Andre De Shields from the Full Monty and Ora Jones...another big actress here in chicago...but honestly except for that and Phantom there isn't much running here... Our Lady of 121st Street is playing at the Steppenwolf...the other big regional theater we have here in chicago... it's good, but not their best stuff... if you haven't seen the play yet I would suggest it.

I saw the "Phantom Of The Opera" today at the Cadillac Palace Theatre here in Chicago, and it is NOT to be missed!

I may write a review later, but for now, all I can say to you is, it's got to be one of the best shows in town...the voices, the costumes, the sets, the story...and of course THE MUSIC!

I have seen the "POTO" many times, in New York and in London, and this production is probably one of the best I have ever seen!

Welcome to Chicago!
