古曼剧院

这个剧院非常漂亮,周围还满是方便的停车场。这里的工作人员很友好。位于芝加哥剧院区,很安全。今年最高票房的演出是由新人编剧Tom Creamer以及曾经导演过唐老鸭的William Brown共同制作的。Jonathan Weir努力地扮演好唐老鸭这个角色,并且他也有这个能力即使这个角色在很早以前就有人演过了。音乐全部是现场演奏,效果很好。场面十分壮观,声音很响亮。它不是一部对经典的平淡呈现。它也许称得上是在这个舞台最精彩的表演。另外,演员阵容包括一些新人,以及一些刚开始职业生涯的儿童演员,这还是他们的首次登场。所有的演员都清楚自己的角色,并且享受整个演出过程。那一年的《小气财神》次次满座,古曼剧院确实是一个不错的剧院。剧院非常温暖,所有席位包括楼座视觉效果都很好。演出历时2小时5分钟,其中包括15分钟的中场休息,演出快了一点点,但是孩子们根本不会察觉到。演出很棒!你可以到他们网站看排练和演出照片。

出来旅行的时候,我们就打算来古曼剧院看狄更斯的《圣诞颂歌》,这是个很明智的决定。当时我正在网上给我侄子找带薪实习的机会,他是个演员,恩,失业的演员。剧院成立于1925年,为了纪念剧作家Kenneth Sawyer Goodman,还获得了托尼奖的"杰出区域剧院"的特别奖呢。很多顶级的剧目都在这里演出过,比如《推销员之死》、《七柄吉它》等。定期狄更斯的《圣诞颂歌》定期在这里演出,这也是对剧院最大的肯定。里面的椅子都是倾斜的,所以做好爬椅子的准备,当然了,也有给行动不便的观众准备的楼梯。在演出的过程中,有一刻非常尴尬。作为一个女演员,我知道这个时刻对于演员意味着什么。守财奴Scrooge刚刚被救赎,他开怀大笑,刚开始很缓慢,笑声引起了观众席上一个小孩的笑声,之后竟然对Scrooge大声嘲笑,那一刻非常尴尬。我近距离地看着演员,他不会一气之下把墙给砸了吧,没有。他接着放声大笑起来,本色和表演融为一体,给观众留下了极为深刻的印象!

Wonderful production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Magnificent ambience! This Theatre exudes history; authentic and old school. Very much a part of Chicago's history. Very short ride from Thompson Chicago .

Go see it! Soon! While it is about feminism, the humor is broad and accessible whether you're a feminist or not, and a female or not. Don't let the posters fool you (a martini with the Venus symbol as a stirrer).

We saw "Rapture, Blister, Burn" there just last night. There truly wasn't a bad seat in the Goodman theatre. The show itself was OK...but certainly not as bad as being "one of the worst plays ever' in my opinion. I and 3 of my girlfriends thought that there were some generally funny parts to this play...and we were even schooled on different feminism views in this world! Interesting to say the least! Loved the tasteful theatre...

I'm a fan of The Goodman, attended many performances. But their current offering (saw it last night) is so astoundingly, breathtaking awful that it boggles the mind. "Rapture, Blister, Burn" has atrocious dialogue badly acted. While it might have been au courant in, say, 1975, today it is beyond dated and bordering on the stupid. It is insulting to women and contemporary feminism. Now, that might be OK if it were satire, or even just funny, but it's not. It is turgid and boring. Do not, do not, waste your time with this piece of dreck.

Traditional thing for my family and the story, actors, and themes effects introduced was outstanding

We saw the Second City performance of Twist Your Dickens. It was hilarious. The theater is very impressive. We were not in the large theater but the portion we were in was very modern and comfortable. The location is easy to find.

We went to see the satirical version of the classic Dickens Scrooge. The theatre is easily found in the central Chicago loop and is central to shopping and restaurants.This was one of the few less expensive theatres in town; but, the show was great and the theatre very nice because all the seats are good in such a small space!Definitely reserve in advance as it does not have much space/seating.

We had tickets for "A christmas carol". We had a great view from the mezzanine. The play was very good with beautiful decors and special effects. I would definitely recommend this play to anyone in Chicago during the Holidays.

My family and I see "A Christmas Carol" here every year (this was our 7th year!) and it never fails to amaze us. The atmosphere of the theater is great--bustling but not overcrowded, so friendly and cheerful. Snacks such as cookies and candy are sold in the lobby, to be eaten during the show. We have seen other plays, such as "The Jungle Book", here as well. In every play, the actors (particularly Larry Yando) and scenery are fantastic. Buying tickets online (for shows like "A Christmas Carol") is a hassle because the site is very slow and hard to navigate, but please do not let this discourage you. The experience is ten times worth it!

My son and I bought tickets for a last minute trip to Chicago. We were fortunate to be able to find two seats together for the Tuesday matinee. The seats were perfect, but I do agree that there aren't bad seats to be had. The ushers were courtesy and seemed to know what they were doing. As people have mentioned, there is a nice area outside the theater to purchase drinks, etc.The production itself was quite good, although there was a technical glitch that stopped the show for about ten minutes. I started just after 2 pm and ended at 4:25.I hope to make this a tradition!

Fun show, theatre is very nice and easy to get to. Nice snacks and bar themed to the show were available. Theatre was clean and staff was helpful

Wonderful! The Theater is on the smaller side, but seats were fantastic. There isn't a bad seat int he house. Ticket takers and greeters were courteous and efficient. The show started at about 8:05 (an 8:00 start time) and (almost) everyone was seated on time. Acoustics were great and we were close enough to feel a part of the show. It was a great venue to see a terrific show.

Our family trip to Chicago added a delightful twist this year by seeing A Christmas Carol at The Goodman. Let me start with a few negatives. Not the production itself, but with the facility. Purchased our tickets online. Decided to splurge and get the private box seats for our group of 7. It appeared that we purchased six seats in one box with the seventh seat in the adjacent box. Upon our arrival we find three seats in a box with our other three seats one level below and the seventh seat in an adjacent box. So our family had to split up.Other reviews have mentioned a coat check and pre-ordering drinks for intermission. Not sure how they knew about these services. Certainly not advertised and certainly not mentioned upon our arrival. In fact, had a little difficulty just finding our seats. Waited in one line only to find that we were in the wrong area.Now that being said, the production was truly amazing!!! This particular version brought life and humor into what is traditionally a somber and dramatic piece. All of the actors were just outstanding and enjoying their time on stage!!! With so many children in the performance, I expected a dropped line or two. If there were any, they went unnoticed. The stage itself was spectacular. Amazing sets and special effects!! Hats off to everyone!!!!
