点评:I came to Chicago just to see this production. Bought my ticket and made a hotel reservation.
The May evening of the performance was one of the first nice afternoon/evenings weatherwise and when my Uber driver dropped me off at the main entrance to the pier there were people everywhere- EVERYwhere. It was like a busy day at Disney World. I was not quite ready for that. And the theatre is good bit down on the pier so there was plenty of people to push through. This may not be your case - just a warning.
Everyone at the theater was very friendly and the staff at will call gave me a ticket for a free drink when I told them I had ventured from Atlanta to Chicago just to see the show and I was headed back in the morning. Very nice of them.
The space is clean and modern and the seats are all close to the stage. It looks as if it is 3/4 thrust but for this production it was practically in the round as there was very little use made of the upstage end except for setting the scene.
The performance space is on an upper level with terraces out to see the lake and the city skyline. It appears that the elevators go down directly to parking.
I enjoyed the show and will look for another production that interests me in the future and hopefully can work that into more than one day in Chicago.
翻译:我专程来芝加哥就是为了看这场演出。买了票,还订了酒店。
演出那天是五月,天气难得的好天气,我的优步司机把我送到码头主入口时,到处都是人——真的到处都是人!简直就像迪士尼乐园的旺季一样。我完全没料到会是这样的景象。而且剧院在码头边上,所以人很多,挤来挤去很费劲。也许你不会遇到这种情况——只是提醒一下。
剧院里的每个人都很友好,售票处的工作人员在我告诉他们我特地从亚特兰大飞到芝加哥就是为了看这场演出,而且第二天早上就要回去的时候,给了我一张免费饮料券。他们真是太好了。
剧院干净现代,座位都离舞台很近。看起来像是四分之三的伸展式舞台,但这场演出实际上是环形舞台,因为除了场景布置之外,舞台后方几乎没有被用到。
演出场地位于楼上,设有露台,可以欣赏湖景和城市天际线。电梯似乎直达停车场。
我很喜欢这场演出,以后会寻找其他感兴趣的剧目,希望下次在芝加哥能安排不止一天的时间观看。
