“Marvelously Macabre…one wild, madcap romp…They may wanna be ghosts, but these apparitions are guaranteed to liven up your summer.”
“Heartfelt, hilarious, and deceptively resonant for our overstimulated ADD age.”
“Immensely pleasurable…the cast of this Chicago premiere production brings Malloy’s score to dazzling life….Malloy’s singular dramatic flair and impatience with cliché are well-served.”
“It’s such a pleasure to see four such gifted young performers...Ghost Quartet deserves an extended run.”
“A hauntingly bizarre delight...the level of musicianship present in this space is mind-blowing...these four voices in combination are a musical match made in heaven.”
“Joyfully eerie...It is without a doubt the most inventive and unusual show of the year so far.”
We promise you Music…
We promise you Magic…
