Jersey Shore: The Musical presented by 4 Days Late at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...The performances, however, do not disappoint. Erin Lane (pulling double duty as the show's director) is especially on target as Jenni, aka JWoww, the tough-talking cookie with the Playboy bod, and Alex Myerchin is very good with Pauly D's joyously memorable conversational tics. As Snooki, Anna Schlegel captures a sweetness in the gal that often gets overlooked in the gossip press. She's a mess, but Schlegel treats her like a human being, which is the right instinct for this show."

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...while the TV show can provoke discomfort or even mild horror, this skillful musical parody from 4 Days Late Productions pulls out the elements that make it hilarious and captivating. The story is swift and intelligent, and the brassy, well-paced tunes neatly take the place of the confessional cam. The cast may not satisfy fans expecting body doubles, but their vocal skills more than make up the difference."

Centerstage - Recommended

"...The show drags a bit at times, but like the best reality television, it’s mostly a fun, engrossing experience that you can’t look away from."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Not Recommended

"...Despite that fact that this musical is poorly made, people are still going to come watch it just to have a laugh at MTV’s dull and brainless characters. Even though many people will walk away giggling at how bad the performance was, they’ll still recount on the way 4 Days Late made this already tragic reality show even more unbearable. 4 Days Late did strike upon the foundation of the original television show by revealing the stupidity that flows through each character’s greasy hair, but that was the only structure 4 Days depended on, leaving very little room for expansion. The entire two hour production kept rotating around one very closed joke, which is the lives of Pauly D, Snooki, and the rest of the “Jersey Shore” cast. Maybe that’s enough to keep you entertained, but I prefer my comedy to have a presence of variety."
