Close enough to see a few plays, but not that close.<br /><br />Looking forward to your review of "Ragtime". And I am looking forward to "Billy Elliot". I'm not going till mid-June, though. Fortunately, Chicago has more than enough good theatre to tide me over.Greg Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367592228032874654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405421.post-75643112100184555822010-04-26T19:03:15.616-05:002010-04-26T19:03:15.616-05:00G1000, thanks for reading and for your comment.

So look for my review over the weekend. <br /><br />While I agree that great theater can be seen throughout Chicagoland, often for considerably less cash than at the downtown theaters, in this case, the $15 I paid for Billy Elliot (as a Broadway in Chicago subscriber) is about half of what I'm paying to see Ragtime ($29.50), and that's with a 1/2 price ticket through Goldstar.com. <br /><br />I took note of your blog/profile and if it's ever convenient, might suggest attending the Movie Discussion Meetup group that I enjoy (http://movies.meetup.com/616/)Seth Arkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009137272886018009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405421.post-79391093967014936902010-04-26T15:52:09.856-05:002010-04-26T15:52:09.856-05:00It looks fantastic.

I'm surprised you haven't reviewed it (unless I missed it in the archives). Suffice to say, "Ragtime" was flat out amazing. If you have not yet had the chance to see it, by all means go. The tickets much cheaper than "Billy", and it's a world-class production. Just saying...Greg Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367592228032874654noreply@blogger.com
