“Director Jennie Eisenhower keeps the action moving at a brisk pace and stages it with just a bit of glitz and razzle dazzle. It’s a sleek and sexy Chicago that Eisenhower stages with help from choreographer Jenn Rose. Rather than attention-grabbing lighting, set elements or slide show projections, the focus in this production is always kept on the performers, and Eisenhower’s capable cast can really hold the audience’s attention.”

“if you are looking for a tasteful, creative, new adaptation of a popular musical such as “Chicago” Media Theater’s cast is sure to transport you into the roaring twenties with passion and flare theater lovers live for. The authenticity of this cast will have you walking out of the lobby snapping and humming the blues and the unique performance will leave you begging for more. Though the questionable content in “Chicago” is normally only suggested for adults, the sophistication in which the show was crafted makes it appropriate for the whole family.”

“The Media Theatre’s production of Chicago, on stage through Sunday, November 6, is a fun, energetic, clearly-professional-level rendition of the classic cynical John Kander and Fred Ebb musical about “celebrity criminals”….ably directed by Jennie Eisenhower”
-Adam Taxin, The Examiner
“Director Jennie Eisenhower has imbued her cast with the right amount of hardness under the glitter; you can see their goal is self-preservation above all else.”
