Bernadette, The Musical at Athenaeum Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...You don’t see a show in Lakeview like “Bernadette, The Musical” every day. In fact, I’ve never seen a show quite like “Bernadette” in Lakeview, or most anywhere else on Chicago’s North Side. For one thing, most everyone involved not named Kelsey Grammer (who’s a producer) is French. For another, it’s a show that was first seen in Lourdes, the town in southwestern France known for pilgrimages, but not exactly the seat of your Broadway-style musicals."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...I never read “The Song of Bernadette”, and I understand there was also a film version, but tonight, I was in attendance at the Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture on Chicago’s North Side. Many of us remember this building for the smaller theaters that were used by local companies as they started out. The large, first floor theater is now called “the Historic Main Stage”, and I must tell you, the building has undergone some radical changes and is quite stunning."

Splash Magazine - Highly Recommended

"...This ordinary teen took on extreme hostility from those who did not believe her. The universal themes of struggle to be authentic and bear faithful witness despite immense challenges and obstacles make this musical timelessly relevant to all audiences. This simple, poor shepherdess changed the world."
