I HAVE SEEN ALMOST EVERY SHOW AND EVERY ONE WAS FABULOUS!

Attended a show here for the first time. Quaint intimate performances space. Friendly box office staff. Enjoyed the performances in SONS OF HOLLYWOOD!

My wife and I saw "A Recipe for Disaster" last night, and couldn't have been more pleased. The play provided a fun show in a unique setting with really delicious food and drink. The amount of food is not what you get when you order a full 7-course meal in a fancy restaurant. That being said, the dinner and accompanying drinks are well-paced and will satisfy most people. If you are worried about not having enough to eat, bring a small sandwich with you. Eat the first half an hour before the show. I doubt you will need to eat the second half after the performance.My only suggestion for improvement would be to provide a 12-oz. glass of water at each of the table seats, rather the the 3-oz size now used. The room gets very warm with all the actors running around and the full complement of restaurant customers. We were very thirsty by the end.To get the best idea of what to expect, see Chris Jones' review in the October 18, 2021 edition of the Chicago Tribune, or any of the reviews on the Windy City Playhouse website. Enjoy your evening. We certainly did.

So many good performances, so what happened to produce the flat slapstick inane "A Recipe for Disaster"? We were anticipating the wonderful combo of Bayless' extraordinary food with an entertaining evening . . . instead we felt as disappointed as we were when the main course served was green curried potatoes with bacon bits! In fact, my friends and I have coined the term "bacon bits" to recall any play/meal/experience as unentertaining as this one. It was the worst piece of theater I've seen for 3 years, and the presentation of the 1/2" of food in tiny paper cups (think smaller than Dixie) did nothing to alleviate our regrets. Believe me, no one is sorrier than I that this evening was such a groaner. Now I'm afraid to see another WCP performance!

I came in looking like a bum and the staff made me feel like I was a millionaire. The guy at the door is super cool I wish I would have left him a tip forgot his name but I remembered he was a Capricorn.
Thomas Baron
Great venue and actors and actresses! Great cocktails and entertainment!
Ally Yager
Absolutely obsessed.
Jasmine Marquez
it was so much fun! the actors rock!
Michelle Montalvo
Great venue- hidden gem! The play was really well done and the intimacy great! It's highly interactive and you are part of the play where you move to different scenes with actors and partake!

Really enjoyed this immersive theater experience; you feel like you're part of the show. Saw The Recommendation and it was incredible. I look forward to seeing more shows here in the future.
Best place I've been to in a while,would recommend to anyone looking for a good evening out!
Jeff Lynch
The acting was fantastic, and stagecraft was truly amazing! I've seen two great productions Southern Gothic and The Boys in the Band. Performances are quite intimate with very small audiences, but worth every penny or moe.
Courtney Lynn
Absolutely an amazing experience. I’ll be seeing this show again before it leaves the Windy City

I saw The Boys in the Band this weekend. It was an incredible performance with an incredible stage. You sit on the stage and the play happens around you. It is such an immersive experience. The place is beautiful, they were so incredibly kind, and it was a show experience that I have never had. I can't wait to go back.
