 The Pirate Queen, Oct 17, 2006 |
| reviewer: Josh from Cincinnati |
| This musical is incredible. Several Chicago bloggers have been dismissing it, but I tell them that they don't know what they're talking about. (Just becuase you don't come out humming a melody that hit you over the head doesn't mean that the score is bad) On second thought, the score is one of the best I've ever heard even at this early stage in the preview process. It's blend of rock, musical theater, and celtic music create a cohesive yet diverse score that "Phantom of the Opera" only attempts to achieve. The production values are also incredibe creating a beautiful atmosphere, and the cast is magnificent. (Especially Grania played by Stephanie J. Block and Tiernan played by Hadley Fraser) It is definately one of the most talented casts I've ever seen. The story is entralling, the music soaring, and the production remarkable. I hope critics and audiences alike realize the magnificance of this work and appreciate it as much as I have. |

Great Cast, Great Music, Great Show!, Mar 06, 2007 |
| reviewer: Gerard & Judy from Atlantic Highlands, NJ |
| A wonderful night out - Stephanie J. Block as Grace O'Malley is mesmerizing, she owns the show along with a superb supporting cast, beautiful sets and wardrobe, and incredible music. We particularly enjoyed Linda Balgord’s performance as Queen Elizabeth I, and Hadley Fraser as Tiernan. We were very privileged to be at the 3/5 preview, and will certainly be adding this to our list of must see shows on Broadway when it officially opens in April. Our mid-center Orchestra seats afforded the perfect view and spectacular sound, allowing a full appreciation of this beautiful production. Highly recommended! __________________ |

Terrific show!, Apr 10, 2007 |
| reviewer: Sue from Northern NJ |
| We saw a preview last month and really enjoyed it. The sets were wonderful the way they transitioned from land to sea and back again. The music was great, and the dance numbers were so much fun to watch. My favorite characterization was Linda Balgord's transformation from the newly coronated Queen Elizabeth to the over-the-top Queen she became by the end of the show. Watching Grace spring into battle on the ship just after giving birth was a little crazy, but the sword fights were great fun. I did shift in my seat a few times during the first act, but at the end of the second act, I was disappointed it was over. I think this show will do well and have a long run. |

 Hilton Theater who?, Mar 26, 2007 |
| reviewer: Unhappy from Chicago, IL-USA |
| I went to New York on vacation for the first time and was extremely excited about seeing a broadway play. We decided on the Pirate Queen and bought Orchestra level seats. The play was awesome and I really enjoyed it but my night was completely ruined when at the end of the show one of the ushers came behind my sisters and I and very rudely made me delete a photo taken while in the theater. My sisters and I live in different states and can only very rarely get together. The photo (singular) wasn't even of the play or the theater but a group shot of us three in our seats 20 minutes before the show. Even though the play was great, I will NEVER go back to that theater because of the stupidity of that request and how rude the staff was. They said something about the architect having the theater patented or something along those lines...frankly I didn't see anything new of different then any theater I've been to in Chicago. It was one of the most ridiculous things I'd heard! |
