Sofa King Queer presented by Nothing Without a Company at Berger Park Coach House

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Kevin Sparrow's new pop-punk musical, Sofa King Queer, is raw, shaggy, sardonic, passionate, and just right for this moment. Directed by JD Caudill and featuring a young and diverse queer cast, this production by Nothing Without a Company hits a lot of the right emotional notes as it follows a group of queer friends, lovers, and family members through one day's couplings, quarrels, and revelations."

"...The play encapsulates what could be classified as typical gay drama, now often referred to as queer drama. It highlights the cyclical nature of life, suggesting that themes from the past resurface every couple of decades, albeit under different labels."

Splash Magazine - Highly Recommended

"...I love a musical that pulls out all the stops, with sparkly costumes, special effects, and full orchestrations. I also love a show that reminds me that musicals don’t need any of those things to be good. Sofa King Queer is the latter, relying on DIY aesthetics and the believability of its characters to carry the story with great success. Form follows function here: a keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums are the right fit for this show’s style of music, and ripped jeans and excessive amounts of sparkly blue eyeshadow say plenty about the characters and setting without breaking anyone’s budget."
