A fun, very casual evening with excellent singers that bring back great memories. We purchased our tickets through Goldstar 1/2 off and they were kind enough to exchange our date when a potential tornado warning kept us indoors on the evening of our show. A fun evening that is appropriate for the whole family.

Great music, great performances. All of the cast were excellent. Not much of a story-line but that really doesn't matter. The theatre wasn't what we expected, it's small and currently being refurbished. Not the type of place you would expect to see a show of this standard. Don't let it put you off. This is a tremendous, fun show. We... More

The cast was very talented! It is a fun show to watch. It is not overly dramatic or serious, just puts a smile on your face.

This play was so fun to watch, and historical as well! We were in the last row, but felt intimately connected to the stage due to the smallness of the theatre, which was great! We were up and dancing by the end of the show....and we are no spring chickens!

We really liked the selection of songs and the interpretation by the cast. The actors playing Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis were especially good. Best to splurge on the cab from downtown. A little off the beaten track in Lincoln Park.

Everybody had told me about this show, but I confess I wasn't very excited about it, because I'm not particularlly fond of covers. Well, let me tell you something: this show is AMAZING! If you're 30 or less, maybe this show doesn'tmean so much to you, but at my age, this journey to the 50's was a very pleasant, vibrant... More

Read about this on trip advisor and so glad I did. The show is full of music and laughs. Based on Sun Records and a true event it is sure to keep your feet taping. Loved it!
