Whether you love it or hate it, you can't stop watching. Jersey Shore: The Musical, by Chicago-favorite sketch comedy group 4 Days Late, re-imagines the pop culture phenomenon with original songs and a wicked tone. Drunk and desperate for fame, the roommates hit the clubs and dodge grenades, until an unexpected turn destroys their fame. See how Ronnie, Sammi, Jwoww, Vinny, Pauly D, Snooki and The Situation survive without their G.T.L lifestyle. Even if you've never seen the television show, the humor will still hit home. Chicago Theater Beat praised 4 Days Late for their ability make satire look easy in this clever satire of modern pop culture. Learn More

Renmus
The star of this one-man show was outstanding. Just his constant presence and constant verbiage was impressive enough, but his acting skills were just as notable.Written on Apr 23 2012
The only downside was the cheesy appeal for money at the end. A concept I did not get was that we were to put $15 in an envelope for the people who will be in our seats tomorrow just as the previous audience had done for us...???

We really enjoyed the show--and the seats! From the beginning, the show was entertaining and thought-provoking. We especially enjoyed the second act, with its frequent unexpected turns. Greg Anderson, who played all parts, was especially convining when he was playing the dog and the Senator, but did a great job in all roles.Written on Apr 09 2012

Thought provoking, funny, and often poignant, this production is not to be missed! The performance of Greg Matthew Anderson and direction of Shawn Douglas are nothing short of amazing and the play itself first class writing.Written on Apr 02 2012

Description
By Lee Blessing
Directed by Shawn Douglass
Featuring Artistic Associate Greg Matthew Anderson
Controversial performance artist Kerr has his NEA funding threatened in a calculated, political trick by his hometown candidate, the folksy, dog-toting Therm Pooley. For revenge, Kerr attempts a dog-napping to reveal that the Senator has the public on a leash. But the Universe exacts its own fantastical revenge on Kerr. Fate, along with the help of some good belly rubs, compels Kerr to sit and stay closer to the Senator than he ever could have imagined. Blessing celebrates the inner life of our canine companions and spots the artist-activist in us all.
