  1. After a rough start, Andrew Lloyd Webber revue shines

    THEATER REVIEW: 'Now and Forever' at the Marriott Theatre ★★★ ... At the start - the rough start - of "Now & Forever," the throbbing electronic tones of "The Phantom of the Opera" fill the theater as colored lights flash repetitively on a chandelier sitting on the stage.
    At the start — the rough start — of the Marriott Theatre's new revue of the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, entitled, with justification, "Now & Forever," the throbbing electronic tones of "The Phantom of the Opera" fill the theater as colored...

  2. 'Sunset Boulevard' is where dreams go to fade

    THEATER REVIEW: Sunset Boulevard at Drury Lane Theatre ★★½ ... Never the subtlest of mega-musicals, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard" at least comes with a resident cynic.
    Never the subtlest of mega-musicals, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard" at least comes with a resident cynic. That would be Joe Gillis, the struggling writer from Dayton, Ohio, who gets trapped in the web of Norma Desmond, a faded Hollywood star who...

  4. Comic belief: Lyric Opera, Second City team up on show

    It was the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving, and most of the crowd for The Second City's Chicago-themed revue in the UP Comedy Club apparently didn't have to work the next day, because the room remained packed for the free extra set beginning at 10 p.m.

  5. Lyric Opera of Chicago season full of greatest hits

    Lyric Opera's 2013-14 season will be given over almost entirely to bread-and-butter repertory designed, at least in part, to ensure the company's sizable ticket sales don't flag in a still-weakened economy.

  7. Fleming, Graham charm Lyric audience with rare duo recital

    Lyric Opera patrons attending the duo recital by soprano Renee Fleming and mezzo-soprano Susan Graham Thursday night at the Civic Opera House probably did not expect they would be getting a guided tour of <em>belle epoque</em> Paris along with an exquisitely performed program of French songs.

  8. Lyric Opera brings fresh approach to Puccini's 'La Boheme'

    Without fanfare, Lyric Opera has been systematically retiring elderly opera productions that have outlived their usefulness or have simply worn out with age. A prime candidate for junking was the 1972 Pier Luigi Pizzi production of Puccini's &quot;La Boheme," a kind of corporate apartment house that has seen countless occupants, worthy and not so worthy, over the years. Recent revivals made that dingy and faded show no easier to live with.

  11. Lyric's darkly funny 'Hansel' good enough to eat

    Food, glorious food.
    Food, glorious food. Quite a bit of the stuff gets flung, splattered and slopped around the stage by the end of Richard Jones' wickedly droll staging of "Hansel and Gretel," which returned to Lyric Opera Friday night at the Civic Opera House. The...
