CHICAGO THEATER & TV REVIEWS
CHICAGO – After a delay that lasted well in excess of a year, “24” returns to FOX this Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m. with a two-hour “special event” (they used to just be called “TV movies”) called “24: Redemption”.
CHICAGO – “Wow! I feel like I’m at a rock concert!” “Me too. It’s like I want to rush the stage!”
While overhearing this conversation between two young women at the recent Chicago opening of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,” I realized there were no better words to sum up Drury Lane’s recent jukebox-blaring, toe-tapping homage to one of the greatest rock and rollers of all time.

HollywoodChicago.com critic Alissa Norby reviews 'Willy Wonka'
HollywoodChicago.com theater critic Alissa Norby wrote in her 4.0 out of 5.0 review of the new Chicago play “Willy Wonka”:
“The Chicago Shakespeare Theater has mounted a delectable stage adaptation of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ called ‘Willy Wonka’. It’s a musical that’s sure to entice and satiate even the bitterest of audiences. Fans of both Roald Dahl’s original children’s novel and the classic film will revel in this piece.”
