Reviewed by Barry Lenny, Thursday 8th August 2024. Another production of that very popular, multi-award-winning musical, Chicago, has reached Adelaide, and it opened to a full house of very enthusiastic theatregoers. The musical, which is based on a 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, takes us back a century to the Roaring Twenties, the era of greater sexual freedom, gangsters, prohibition, flappers, and jazz. She was a journalist and her play is based on real crimes on which she reported in her work. The book is by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, with music by Ebb, original direction and choreography by Fosse, and lyrics by John Kander. It had its premiere in 1975, and this Broadway revival, directed by Walter Bobbie, is from 1996.

For lovers of musical theatre, you’ll be treated to some brilliant vocal performances det amidst a dark, foreboding tale of Midwest Depression America.

Nestled at the foot of the Talimena Drive that connects Mena, Arkansas and Talihina, Oklahoma sits this charming theatre that produces five shows a year. The Ouachita Little Theatre, 610 Mena St., in Mena, which was once a Lyric Movie Theater, transitioned to a live theatre in 1985 and has been going strong, minus Covid and a couple of tornadoes. For my first visit, but definitely not my last, I was able to catch DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID THE MUSICAL, which ran from July 26-August 4. Magically transporting us under the sea, this theatrical troupe mesmerized the young and young at heart and made us part of their world.
