Completely Hollywood (abridged) presented by Reduced Shakespeare Company at Royal George Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...The second act works quite nicely because it contains a composite movie-of-movies that the trio puts together (the cast I saw included Tichenor, Martin and the droll Dominic Conti), but the less certain first act sure takes a lot of time to warm up."

Chicago Sun Times - Somewhat Recommended

"...Though occasionally funny, the Reduced Shakespeare Company production at the Royal George Theatre Center (in repertory with "The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged)") is B-movie quality and more worthy of a Razzie than an Oscar."

Windy City Times - Somewhat Recommended

"...Unfortunately, the Chicago audiences I encountered at the RSC repertory shows abbreviating the odder aspects of Judeo-Christian Biblical stories and silver-screen stereotypes didn’t react with the same kind of rock-star reverence the college crowd offered up. With so many comedy options in Chicago, the RSC doesn’t have the captive crowds it would have as the only game in town on tour."

Gay Chicago Magazine - Not Recommended

"...If I were only allowed a three word review of this show, it would read, “Stink. Stank. Stunk.” That pretty much sums it up, but since I am obliged to support my statements I will explain."

"...If you are a movie person, you will find yourself laughing out loud as they make their script come alive in the second act, with the use of some audience members. Don't be alarmed if they call you on stage- you will enjoy the experience. Going to the theater is a live experience where anything can happen and in this type of show, more than likely does."

ChicagoCritic - Recommended

"...The Completely Hollywood shows follows the RSC’s format—an overwhelming topic filled with ripe material for spoofing and satirizing. Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor do double duty here. Add the rubber-legged Dominic Conti and Completely Hollywood unfolds as a hilarious tribute to Hollywood and its various film noirs."
