Hostage Song: Chicago Premiere of Provocative Rock Musical
- Full Price:
- $20.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00
A completely unconventional romantic comedy with a ripped-from-the-headlines setup, this indie-rock musical debuted Off-Off-Broadway in 2008 and now makes its Chicago debut with Signal Ensemble Theatre. Hostage Song tells the tense, absorbing and amusing story of Jim and Jennifer, two terrified American hostages, kept blindfolded and bound in an unnamed hostile country. Faced with uncertainty and death, they find a way to connect with their memories and each other through song. The book is by playwright and novelist Clay McLeod Chapman, with music and lyrics by Kyle Jarrow. Learn More

Great: cast, story, easy to hear, set decoration, costumes, and lighting. Really nice intimate theater. Stage in the middle seats on three sides. Best seats on the right and left of the entrance. Parking not a problem on the street. I loved the football theme stagebill, tickets, free cups on the play and free popcorn.Written on Jan 29 2012

Very well done! Enjoyed this dramatic play, the casting was brilliant. Small, intimate venue gets you up close and personal with the performers. For seating - I would recommend a sideline seat, not in the end zone.Written on Feb 28 2012

We liked it a lot. I know nothing about football but still understood and appreciated the story, with the exception of some technical terms. My theater partner who follows football thought it was spot on.The play was very well acted. The set was cute, if not a tad cheesy, and the keepsake cups and popcorn were an extra bonus. This is a talented ensemble who are not afraid to explore different theater genres. Ronan Marra is a bright new talent who has a way of writing witty yet genuine dialogue. He really did his homework here, as he did in Aftermath.Written on Feb 28 2012
