MacHomer: The Simpsons Do Macbeth at Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...Some justifiable cynicism aside, there's genuine drollness and artistry here. And while the whole thing is a tad pre-packaged and skittish for my tastes, there's no doubting Miller's, ahem, special talent as an impressionist and conceptualist of a high order."

Chicago Sun Times - Highly Recommended

"...Miller clearly loves Shakespeare and his language. And he also is an undisputed master of accents, body language, pop culture tics and technological tricks (his use of all forms of video and other digital media rivals that of Laurie Anderson). But he has an adolescent boy's energy and mindset. And he has created the kind of super-brilliant, wholly bastardized "Macbeth" that a genius ninth- grade cartoonist might have devised while everyone else in class was cramming for the big test."

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...In his one-man show, Canadian impressionist Rick Miller plays all the characters in Shakespeare's Macbeth using voices from The Simpsons. It's a cute premise, but after the first half hour the joke of having Marge as Lady Macbeth and Homer as the blood-soaked rebel grows thin."

Chicago Free Press - Highly Recommended

"...Impeccably directed by Sean Lynch, the very attractive Miller faithfully delivers Montgomery Burns’ venal Duncan, Homer’s doofus of a Macbeth, Marge’s simpering Lady Macbeth, Ned Flanders’ ebullient Banquo and bibulous Barney Gumble’s Macduff—and 45 more."

Time Out Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...a remarkable comic tour de force created and performed by Canadian actor Rick Miller. Thanks to his considerable talents, what could be a one-joke gimmick is a dizzying display of bravura impersonation, multimedia fireworks and, not least of all, endurance."
