Rink Life at Steppenwolf Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...All in all, it’s 15 tracks, sung a capella, mixed brilliantly by vocal coach Bethany Clearfield. But again, the soundtrack is not firmly planted in the disco era, or anywhere else too specific. After all, Lucky Plush shows all hinge on the performers being themselves, so the premise might be different, but with returning cast members and some residue from previous projects like “Punk Yankees,” and “Cinderbox,” watching “Rink Life” kind of feels like we’ve seen this show before."

Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended

"...This is an excellent production and was an absolutely delight to watch. I don’t think a better argument could be put forth for the ability of a movement based performance to be just as connecting and communicative as speech or song. You have my permission to strong arm the dance theater skeptic in your life to see this show. Neither of you will be disappointed."

"...Each of the performers has a distinct personality on stage and several moments in the spotlight. But Cintra and White stand out, while Melinda Myers reminded me so much of a dancing version of comedienne Kristen Wiig."

"...On the rink, you can sing to your own tune, escape your everyday life, support and be supported, and express yourself honestly. This piece was a lesson to us all, to trust and communicate with one another so that we can reach a common understanding. We engage with a world full of brightly colored characters with unique experiences. We find community."
