| FROZEN is open, and the controversy begins!
by Jason Loewith on 4/17/2007 12:05:00 PM
Last night we opened the Chicago premiere of Bryony Lavery's stunning play FROZEN under the direction of Steve Scott. I'm so proud of these three amazing actors (and Steve) who have put forward some of the bravest, most uncompromising performances I've seen on a Chicago stage in a long while.
This production regularly gets a controversial reception when it plays (it was the 4th-most produced play in the country last year, after Shakespeare and Dickens), and I'm waiting to hear YOUR reactions to see if, indeed, the play is as provocative for our audience. So far I've only heard one negative comment amongst the dozen or so lengthy hosannas - including two subscribers who thought it was the best play they'd seen at Next, and one who thought it was the best play he'd ever seen!
So please, what's YOUR review?Labels: Frozen

"Frozen" was the best play that Next has done this year! The acting was top-quality, the story was told beautifully. We were mesmerized by the whole thing.
Kudos to Jason Loewith for choosing this terrific story and also to the actors who made their roles so believeable.
If "The Adding Machine" put Next on the map, then "Frozen" should go a long way to keeping it there.
