The Royal George is a Chicago institution! Thank you for hosting "I'M NOT A COMEDIAN...I'M LENNY BRUCE". Ronnie Marmo's portrayal was incredible, if you get a chance, this show is an absolute not miss! While he was a bit before my time, I learned of him via the "Mrs. Maisel" show. Mr. Marmo's authentic and realistic portrayal made us think throughout the show what is "freedom of speech" and its impact on this country and and its citizen. I am no theater critic but I am deeply grateful to the Royal George for hosting this presentation. I am more educated because of Mr. Marmo's efforts and thank the entire team for this amazing event.

5/5 for my second experience here in 2016. Would return again based on this and having been seated in the main theater for this particular performance. read more

I went to this theater last night to see White Noise. The show was beyond amazing!!! It made me laugh, it made me cry, had fantastic third row seats, just loved it! The theater itself I actually enjoyed. It's not a huge theater so I'm sure every seat feels like a good seat. The sound just fills the space and the lighting is amazing. I felt bad for one older lady who was in the second row and had serious issues getting up the stairs to the main stairwell. They were too steep for her and no proper railing for her to grab onto. I bought 2 pops before the show and they were $4 each which ended up costing me $10 because of tip! And it was literally just 2 cans of pop poured out, I saw the bartender do it. I could have got 48 cans of pop for $10. Ugh. Super high drink prices is my point. Lastly, there is no parking. There are some street spots but the valet comes and tells you you'll get ticketed. So then, there is no where but the valet parking. You pay the valet $11 who then takes your car two inches away to their personal parking garage and then you have to tip him. So $15 for the parking garage parking, ugh again. Steppenwolf across the street is $10 but you can only park there if you are seeing one of their shows. :( Either way, LOVED the show! But this theater tries to squeeze every extra cent out of you. read more

I've seen the Woman in Black twice at the Royal George Theater and both times have been a great experience. The stage has a more intimate feel and there is absolutely no bad seat in the house! Both times I have been, the staff were accommodating and helpful to find our seats. There is a bar in the lobby serving refreshments and light snacks. There's a showing every night with the current main production being the chilling story of the Woman in Black which is set to play until February 15 in which I highly recommend! Ticket prices are also affordable. The first time I saw the Woman in Black, we were able to score tickets through HotTix for a great price. The second time I was able to watch again through a wonderful Yelp event. I'm excited to have this theater under my radar for plays, I'm hoping to watch more of upcoming productions in the near future! read more

Royal George Theatre - Very much recommended! - Performing Arts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

In all of the years we've live near Chicago, we've never gone to the Royal George Theater until now. It was a great experience. The Royal George is a theater on the small side. They have a great reputation for putting on good shows, and our experience met expectations. The seats are comfortable, but more importantly, the entire theater seating is tiered so there is no bad or obstructed view of the stage. We saw the play "Old Jews Telling Jokes" which came to Chicago after a successful off-Broadway run. As soon as the doors to the theater opened, we were let into a narrowish hallway where others were waiting until the doors to the main theater opened. Displayed in the hallway are posters of various shows they've hosted. There is a small bar toward the back. My only disappointment was there was a display case showing souveniers (T-Shirts, CDs, etc.) but none were available for sale there. If you want something, you have to go online. Not sure if that is the way the Royal George operates, or if it had something to do with this specific show. Overall, a great experience. We made sure to sign up for their mailing list so we would know of upcoming shows. read more

Woman in Black is amazing! Go see it now! Super convenient location right across the Clybourn Red Line Station. No food is sold at the theater, you might want to eat before or after. I did see a few restaurants nearby, burger bar is just around the corner. Theater was clean, the stage is small and I think the theater sits quite a bit of people, at least enough to make a huge line for at the bar for drinks during intermission and to the restroom, specially the ladies. Paid $12 per cocktails. I also got some Famous Amos and a small cup of Chex Mix for $3 each a bit expensive I though. Perhaps the rudest audience I've ever seen. At the beginning of the play a young lady had not put their phone away and an older gentleman hit her on the shoulder with the programme. "Put your f*cken phone away" he said. Later on while I was enjoying the Chex mix that I paid for and that the theater sold to me. An older gentleman in front of me told me to stop eating them. I will definitely come back though. read more

The theatre itself is good, though having only been here once, I can't comment on the entire place. There are multiple actual stages in this place, and I only went upstairs to Late Night Catechism. So this is a bit of review for the venue itself, and a bit for the show. Let's start with the venue. The whole place is good, with multiple stages and, more importantly, bars scattered throughout. The one drawback is that the back stairs and hallways are notoriously hot or cold in the summer and winter, respectively. Don't worry, the seating areas themselves are fine. The staff is super friendly, including the bartenders. The drinks are unsurprisingly over priced, but tasty and not weak (though not strong either). As for the show itself, Late Night Catechism was amazing! Sure, I grew up catholic and that definitely helps you appreciate the perverse comedy. But my wife, who was raised mormon (but is no longer, thank Zeus!) appreciated the humor too, and got some great, funny interaction for her previous religion. Not to mention the fact that she was showing a bit of cleavage - a scandal at Catechism! Protips: Do not come in late, and if you do, have $1 in cash, seriously. Know your confirmation name (for catholics) as well as other details of your catholic schooling, CCD and other such parts of catholicism. And for god's sake, remember to say "Sister..." before answering any questions. Learn, people!! read more

The Royal George is a more intimate theater but the performances here are wonderful. I saw the Louis and Keely Chicago premiere here and LOVED it. It was absolutely brilliant to be so close to the stage and enjoy the amazing enthusiasm and high-energy of the performers. I also enjoyed mingling with the cast and producers afterwards in the lobby and had such a delightful time. I hope the show comes back one of these days! read more

LIFE IS A SHOW There is always something going on here just simply look at the marquee and you will probably see 4 shows up there. I have been to the larger theater in front and the smaller theater in the back. Just make sure you know which show you are going to because you don't want to end up in the wrong theater. Recently we went to see "Old Jews Telling Jokes" and I must admit it was really funny. The cast of 5 had amazing timing and were incredibly funny. Tim K of SNL fame and The Police Academy movies was the most recognizable headliner. They really seemed to enjoy working on stage together. I really enjoyed the few times they cracked each other up on stage. It makes it feel real. I think some of the jokes were improv sessions because they seemed to be surprised by each other during some parts of the show. Not only were there great jokes but there were some funny and entertaining songs. I would recommend the show if you're looking for a good laugh. The theater is incredibly comfortable. The aisles on the main floor have tons of leg room. In fact, someone can pass in front of you with out much trouble. It's like the bulkhead on an airplane. There's a balcony here but I've never sat up there. There's a bar in the lobby and you are allowed to bring drinks into the theater. The bar is cash only, so hit an ATM on the way in. The box office is located to the left when you walk in. The staff is so friendly and nice. They were very helpful when trying to find my tickets. I felt bad as they searched for them. They kept apologizing and fixed it immediately. That's great customer service and I love that. There is so much theater in Chicago and a ton of a shows happening on any given night. This is just one of many theaters putting out entertaining shows. So if you're in the mood for some fun theater, then I would check out to see what they have playing here. And Scene!!! read more

Royal George is a nice theatre with not a bad seat in the house, seriously. The people working the box office are a-okay, and although there is really no "lobby" to speak of for intermission (it's more of a passage hallway), everything is very clean and comfortable. Saw "White Noise" here and the staging and sound were superb. They did a great job tiering different levels of the stage and everything was really professional. Just steps from the Red Line at North and Clybourn, with many restaurant options in the area for pre-show noshing, and Royal George is a great destination for a night out on the town. read more

I came to the Royal George Theatre for the first time over the weekend to see Spamilton! There was a long waiting time outside the theater before we were let in and there wasn't a lot of seating. It wasn't particularly cramped so I was fine with this, but it's something to watch out for it you're a person who can't stand for long periods of time. They have a few stages here, and inside is like a maze to get to your correct theater. The theater that Spamilton was in was pretty small. The stage was low to the ground and the incline wasn't very steep so unless you were in the first row or two, the bottom half of the performers are going to be covered with the back of people's heads (see photo). The seats were comfy, and the play was great! Late Night Catechism is at this theater and that's one of those shows I've been meaning to see since I moved to Chicago 14 years ago and never got around to, so I'll definitely make a point to come back. That being said, the face value of the ticket price for the show I saw was definitely not worth the experience of seeing a show at this theater. I like to support local theaters so I'll come back regardless, but that's something to think about if you're going to see a show here -- I often find shows here listed on deal sites so I'd watch out for those rather than pay full price (which is what I did for Spamilton). read more

We came to Chicago to see baseball. A's fans from California because our team played the Cubbies and the Whitesoxes back to back this week. Saw a flyer for this play, Miracle about a local family and the 2016 Championship series who were long suffering Cubs fans. So Sunday we went. So happy we did as this was a funny and sad and heartwarming performance about this group and how over the 2016 season they found miracles happen and family comes first and it was a very happy ending!! The one set moved around to be in different places worked out better than I expected and once you are into the play not distracting at all. The actors were very good and quite capable singers and it was really an amazing 2 hours and we loved it!! Cubs fans who don't see this play need to go and relive 2016 with this bunch. Home to California tonight but we take a bit of the love of your Cubbies home with us as we are all fans of loyalty to family and our teams. read more

This is a beautiful venue. The seating is super comfortable and staggered correctly so that all can see easily. Honestly, this is the first venue where it makes sense to be in row 15 than it does in the first row (some advice) as the house is very staggered and unobstructed. If you are in the front row, you will be seeing the shoes of the performers. Also there a ton of great restaurants and bars to have a cocktail if you want. I highly recommend the venue on all accounts! Great place! read more

I recently saw the show, "Spamilton" at the Royal George Theatre. I had realized, I've never been here before. This theater is a staple in the area with incredible shows for decades. The lobby is on the smaller side with the ticketing area, waiting area and the bar area, which were okay. Nothing really spectacular. Since there are several smaller theaters in this building, the ushers had directed us to the appropriate theater. Entering this theater, the small stage is up front with inclining theater seating throughout the room. Being on the shorter side, I felt the incline was great so I was able to see the stage. The show itself, was great!! The singing and the comedy was incredible. Overall, I would highly recommend Spamilton and the Royal George Theatre! read more

I'm not much of a theatre goer. Honestly, the only play I've ever seen was at the Shakespeare Theatre in Navy Pier during various field trips as a kid. That doesn't mean I'm opposed to them. I went to see The Woman in Black, a play about a man's experience of the paranormal that seems to lurk over the world of the living. A concept that seems to have been portrayed a number of times in Hollywood, but what made this show interesting was that it was all done with 3 actors onstage, with 2 of them mainly doing the whole show on their own. Talk about impressive! Like I said, I'm not much of a fan of these arts, but the play really impressed me. Outside of NYC, I know that Chicago has been really big in the theatre world, so I think I need to take advantage of all that and push myself into that world! read more

We went to see Bible Bingo which was a riot. The lead actress made us all laugh for two hours. Intimate theater with a bar inside so we had a drink and laughed while we enjoyed the program. We even got to play bingo during the show. Highly recommend. read more

We seen the Cubs play, Miracle. Had no idea what to expect. I read nothing about the play prior to seeing it. I am married to a giant Cubs fan and have gone through 20 years of baseball seasons. The play is really based on a fan's perspective- the setting is so fun and so Chicago. This play was soooo good! The theatre is nice, clean and intimate. We sat in row D, center stage- perfect seats- although I don't think there's a bad seat in the place. read more

I attended the Yelp Elite event and what an incredible evening. The staff at the theater were all super friendly and accommodating, the theater doesn't have a bad seat in the house, and the production of The Woman in Black blew me away! It was my first time at this theater even though I've been across the street at Steppenwolf a few times - glad to have discovered this one last night! Thanks Yelp! read more

I attended a showing of Spamilton at the Royal George Theatre. As I walked it I was greeted right away and pointed in the right direction to retrieve my tickets. Getting my tickets was a breeze, they easily found my name and had my tickets ready to go. I arrived a little early and enjoyed a glass (well really a plastic cup) of wine. It was decidedly "meh." But the bartender was kind and attentive and very helpful. It's also nice that we can bring any food or drink purchased at the bar into the theater. Seating outside the theater is limited and it was awkwardly quiet as we waited for the theater to open. It has a pretty plain interior that was dark and uninteresting (compared to other theaters in town.) But once the door opened the staff were very helpful and super friendly. The show was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. read more

I scored tickets to Late Night Catechism a couple months back (thanks Pandora P.'s mom!), and treated my two fave Catholics, my mom and mother-in-law. I'm not Catholic myself, and I surely did not attend anything resembling Catholic school, and no, I've never ever read the Bible. The venue was terrific for the play. By the time we walked the hallways to the classroom, we really felt as if someone was about to open a family-sized jar of religious whoop-ass on us. Still, when the scary but hilarious nun queried the class to see who could define the Immaculate Conception, I was the only fool to raise her hand. I got the correct answer. Sister awarded me a glow-in-the-dark figure of the Blessed Mother. read more

What a great venue! My daughter and I saw the Debbie and Doyle show in the cabaret theater as the cap to a grand day of adventures and it was definitely the perfect way to end the day. I was impressed with the theater for many reasons. Will call was smooth and I got to pick up the tickets early. The lines were short and efficient, the whole facility seemed really well managed. I also loved that they offered tickets to Yelpers during the Easter weekend. This was good for us and for them, it filled out the audience and exposed new people to the terrific product you have to offer. Our seats were magnificent - 3 rows up and on the aisle. Perfect! I have never visited this theater before but I used to wonder about it during the years we subscribed to the Steppenwolf. There is a nice mini theater row here on Halsted with a good choice in dining and very efficient parking. It makes for a great overall experience. I am sorry I waited so long to attend my first show here, it will definitely not be my last. Royal George Theatre - you rock! read more

My husband and I were told about 'the Rosenkranz Mysteries' at the Royal George which is in their intimate theater. If listening to NPR and reading the NYTimes have got you down, this was a well-worth-it distraction. The Physician Magician, as Dr. Ricardo Rosenkranz bills himself was so entertaining and was audience interactive to the point where the audience members provided a lot of support to Rosenkranz. (Before you accuse him of planting associates, I must say that I got selected and I didn't know the doctor from Adam.) He has great tricks and even explains scientific research such as the 'paradigm shift' in a user friendly way. I am not sure how he created the trick but it engaged my husband and me into hypothesizing with fellow audience members--what a great way to interact with human beings.(I am going to wager that lovely Ms. Jan was an important factor in all of the tricks.) I think young folks would like this as much as the older crowd. I look forward to researching his TedTalk online-and maybe a sequel to this next Season. read more

I had the opportunity to see Forbidden Broadway here. I have been past here several times but I have never had the opportunity to see anything. I was quite impressed with this theatre. I guess you can say that it has personality, which means a lot to me when rating a theatre. too many times I have gone to "sterile" theatres to see a production. the theatre itself was a good size, not too big and not too small. the seats were close together but it was not uncomfortable. It was also very cool as they let you bring your drink into the theatre also. read more

There's 4 different theaters varying from about 100 to 500 seats depending on the show. Tickets are pretty affordable for some awesome entertainment. This is definitely a fun night out with the folks. The staff is really what I've got to comment on though. Everyone from the box office attendant to the security to the general manager is extremely nice and accommodating. I'll def be back for another show on the service alone. read more

Four out of five stars only because I didn't have a full theater experience. I have a background in the performing arts, and I am honestly ashamed to say I've never seen a show here. My review is for my experience at a business conference in the smaller theater. I can't say enough about the overall facilities here. I was honestly amazed by how clean the place is! I've been to a lot of theaters/theater buildings in my life time, and I'm extremely impressed with how royal things are here. 1) The overall small theater and building is impeccably clean. I mean so clean you could eat off the floor! It was a crappy rainy day when I was here, but it was so nice and clean and warm inside. 2) The staff is friendly and helpful. Always there when you need them. 3) The smaller theater space itself is a perfect location for a small conference or larger meeting. The auditorium has comfortable seating, a bar onsite, and a small stage perfect for a few presenters. 4) They had a valet service for guests. Overall, if you are ever looking for a great place to have a business meeting or conference, consider coming here. It was ideal! They run a tight ship and really care about taking care of those who come through. Royal George rocks. Now, I need to come back to the city for a show! read more

The Pianist of Willesden Lane is now playing at the Royal George Theatre. It is the compelling true story of Lisa Jura who was a 14-year-old Jewish girl persecuted by the Nazis in Vienna in 1938 Vienna. It chronicles her flight via the Kindertransport to England where she overcomes many tribulations to become an accomplished concert pianist. This is phenomenal one-woman performance by Mona Golabek who is the actual daughter of Ms. Jura. She tells the story interlaced with classical piano pieces and terrific mimicry of dialogue between Ms. Jura and the major characters she encountered. Ms. Golabek's story telling, musical, and acting skills were sensational. The venue is intimate and the ticket prices are extremely moderate. The Pianist of Willesden Lane is a first-rate production that incites a wide range of emotional reactions and demonstrates the power of courage and perseverance. It is most highly recommended. read more

Oh Royal George, always entertaining. I've been lucky enough to have seen two shows here in two different theaters. First was 'White Noise' in the main theater. Loved it, in fact wrote a whole separate review about how much I did. Just saw 'The Doyle and Debbie Show' (thanks JT & Yelp!) (Discount tickets! https://www.goldstar.com/join?p=F1374677RP) in the first floor, take a left past the grey door, Cadillac Theater. Such a great show in a unique venue. I love me some Nashville and this set made me feel like I was right back there. The Cadillac Theater even has a bar that is open throughout the show (cash only). The show is a quirky, off kilter country music show. You've never heard anyone sing about these topics before! It's there till the end of the year, so go see it. Royal George is in a great location, easy to get to with dining options all around. read more

I saw the Doyle and Debbie Show here, thanks to yelp. This was the first time I'd ever been to the Royal George. The theater itself looks a little rundown, but I love its character! The staff was very laid back and friendly. The atmosphere in the cabaret theater was so fun--it was decked out to look like a country bar. I loved it, and I loved how that particular theater was tucked way in the back. The show itself was hilarious, and the songs were top-notch for the most part. I would most certainly go back to see another show at the Royal George! read more

Royal George Theatre - Performing Arts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have seen about 10 shows here over the past 10+ years. All of them have been funny and slightly left of center. Yes, there are several theaters in this place, all seating various amounts of theater goers. Most recently, we saw The Doyle and Debbie Show. The lyrics of each song were extremely witty and hilarious. I found myself giggling from beginning to end. As for the snacks offered?!? Pork rinds and Twinkies. If I was hungry, I would have gotten busy on all the tiny offerings! This is another great theater to visit on Halsted (only steps away from Steppenwolf)! read more

I love the Royal George, but I am convinced that they get away with charging more for tickets because they are across the street from Steppenwolf Theatre. Not that their plays aren't worth it nor are the actors/actresses any less talented. It's one of those things that I have seen so many plays in so many places that don't' charge $60 a seat I mean for just a tiny bit more I can go to the Opera. Times are getting tough and I will have to learn how to control my theater fix. The theater itself I believe has 4 stages but I've only experienced plays on 2 stages. Both smaller stages which I love because it gets you more involved. The set design and stage props are fitting but again with the cost of the ticket you kind of expect more. The biggest thing that kills me is that the seats aren't comfortable at all, you get that ache after only 15 min. into the show and then it drives you nuts till intermission. Overall the décor and atmosphere still gives you that theatre feeling experience. The plays/shows themselves have been fantastic. I highly recommend seeing Forbidden Broadway; it is none stop laughter, seriously 5 stars. A special thanks to Colleen for hooking me up with tickets. This was my second time seeing it which they are cool enough to change things up and add some new stuff. Also keep your eye out for improve shows here they are hilarious. I saw Frodo-a-go-go (spoof off of Lord of the Rings) a few years ago and I still talk about how funny it was. Support the arts!!! read more

I was here for the first time just a few weeks back and saw Superior Donuts, and what a great production! Stage design made me feel like I was there and the cast of characters were all superb! There are multiple theaters in this venue, and all have different and unique layouts. Cost for most productions are reasonable and many discounted tickets can be found on goldstar.com. It can be a challenge to find street parking, but they do offer reasonable valet parking for $12. read more

i'm not Catholic - never was - but experiencing Put the Nuns In Charge last night with Kathleen Puls Andrade made me wish I was. This form of theater with inspired improvisation, audience involvement, and a thoughtful 'script' that touches on human issues that transcend the Catholic church - even religion itself. Kathleen was so convincing that many of us in the audience had to remind ourselves more than once that she really is NOT a nun. I recommend this performance for everyone including adolescents and teens ("Sister's" advice should have them rolling their eyes and rolling in the aisles. i.e. "We only need one Holy Hill here!" LOL) Do you want a fun, wholesome, original, intimate night at the theater at a price that won't force you into a second mortgage, see "Put the Nuns In Charge". Loved it! read more

My boyfriend scored free tickets to the play Proof, so we headed to the Royal George on a Thursday night to catch the show. The play was actually quite nice - the actors did a lovely job and the set was simple but effective. The theatre we saw the show in was super small - I'm not sure if the Royal George has more than 1 theatre (don't think so) and only seated about 20 people. Which would have been fine, but the seats were just wooden stools, so about an hour in my loins were begging for respite. Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back, but if I do, I might bring one of those stadium cushions that your mom brings to high school football games. read more

LOVE this venue... and every show I've seen there. Great intimate theatre and you can't beat the price of admission! My favorite so far has to be the "Bible Bingo" series (they come up with holiday themed ones all the time in addition to the standard) each one is unique and extremely entertaining!! I always recommend this place to friends visiting Chicago!! read more

I hadn't been to the Royal George in years. I saw a couple plays up in the studio many years ago but haven't been the main stage. We recently saw Don't Dress for Dinner. We had second row seats and it rocked. Nice wide aisles and seating areas, so you aren't stepping on people trying to get to your seat. I really didn't think there was a bad seat in the house, especially on the main floor. I am not a fan of eating and drinking during a play. This isn't a ballgame or a concert. The ushers and ticket takers were very nice. Bathrooms were friendly. No stinky and plenty of paper towels. I think the price of the tickets were more than fair. We had a great time and it was a great play! read more

I think every seat here is great. It feels so open, and you can easily see the stage. The accoustics is great, so you can hear everything clearly. I was here to see "Hats!", and I loved it. It was crazy to see Betsy Randle here, when I have seen her on Home Improvement and some other shows on tv. She was great, and so was the rest of the cast. Their voices were just so impressive. I would definitely come back here for a show again. read more

I've been to this theater a few times, most recently to catch John Leguizamo's most recent show Ghetto Klown. The Royal George is a great theater in that there is not a bad seat in the house. It has a very intimate feel to it. Several restaurant options near the Royal George if you want to catch a bite before the show as well, so that's a definite plus! The only thing I do NOT like is that the lobby is very small and therefore can get very crowded. Also, there always seems to be an air of confusion when people are coming in - especially for those who have never been there. "Where's the line? What is this line? Who's taking tickets?" It would be good if they either put some ropes to guide people, or had someone who's job was simply to guide people as they came in... people with tickets come to this way, people who need to pick up tickets this way please... I guess this could be seen as nit-picking, but it would really help to figure some way to fix this because for the more popular shows it's really a mess, especially as the show time nears. The other thing, parking ... it doesn't take a genius, it's old town/lincoln park, get there early to check out your options (park on the street or valet, look at the surrounding lots), but the real issue is the horrendous traffic! Which I guess is not a reflection on the theater, just a footnote to this review. :-) read more

This was my first experience with the Royal George Theatre and it came about in a very unforeseen way. A friend of mine had suggested we go and check out "A Steady Rain". One of her co-workers husband is in it and it had gotten really good review. Fast forward to a week ago and me getting 2 free tickets to the show. So... I meet my friend at her place and we begin to walk over to the theatre. [Enter the pouring rain and cut to us arriving at the theatre soaked] We grab our tickets and head to the bathroom and attempt to dry off. There's not a lot I can say about the show other than it was amazingly intense. The two actors who spend the entire time on stage were extremely gifted. It's not easy to hold a rooms attention for an hour and a half, but there were moments when you couldn't even hear people breathing. The show was spectacular and I HIGHLY recommend the show to everyone. The deduction of a star is due to the Royal George's lack of traffic planning. It just so happened that as we were filing out of our little cabaret theatre, every other show was letting out as well. Far too many people trying to leave the theatre at the same time. Other than that... FANTASTIC! read more

Doyle and Debbie show have left their Nashville and are making a go of it at a very well put together replica of The Station Inn tucked inside the Royal George Theatre. I seriously don't think there is a bad seat in the house. However I must say I enjoyed my very thoughtful boyfriends selection of Row D as this show is very much about the interactions between Doyle and Debbie. They play all the hits but I must say the breakdown in 'Fat Women In Trailers' is stellar. Since this is a review for the Theatre I should toss in the staff are very friendly, it's clean, and a great size for catching a show and great location (just off the red line North & Clybourn.
