Teatro ZinZanni: Love, Chaos and Dinner Reviews
Chicago Tribune- Recommended
"...The "Love, Chaos and Dinner" title for the latest version of Teatro ZinZanni in Chicago could not be more apt. The cabaret-circus show in the spiegeltent inside the former Masonic hall on Randolph Street has always been performed with a lot of love. The schedule and name changes have been a tad chaotic. But a good dinner has been a constant."
Chicago Sun Times- Recommended
"...This is mini-cirque, individual performers and one trapeze pair (the trapeze doesn't swing), and the same folks do the clowning bits, which are rather obviously their secondary talents. And it comes with a three-course dinner. Also, don't bring the kids (that's what "Blue Man Group" is for)."
Chicago Reader- Highly Recommended
"...Teatro ZinZanni Presents: Love, Chaos, & Dinner has been a reliably entertaining fantasia of top-tier circus hijinks since it debuted here way back in the before times of 2019. (For a few months post-pandemic, Cabaret ZaZou, using the same dinner-and-a-circus concept and some of the same artists as ZinZanni, played in the mirrored spiegeltent on the Cambria Hotel's 14th floor.) The show's scripts may change, but its international roster of clowns, contortionists, aerialists, and vocalists can be counted on to serve up a compelling, visually gorgeous mix of cabaret, vaudeville, and gasp-inducing stunt work"

"...Teatro ZinZanni has another fun-filled, entertaining circus dinner theater adventure with its signature blend of cirque, comedy, and cabaret called Love, Chaos & Dinner. With its tasty food combined with contortionists, juggling, aerialists, impressive Trapeze performance with a Comedic Magician, and fantastic singing, it's an event that everyone should experience."

"...If you have never been to a Teatro ZinZanni production high atop the Cambrai Hotel in Chicago, then you owe it to yourself and your family to get down and see “Love, Chaos and Dinner” the current arrival. The formula for the shows at this facility ( rather than theater, I will call it this) is a dinner and Cirque Soliel performance art production. In the previous shows, we fell in love with the host, Frank Ferrante a/k/a Caesar."

"...The flaps of the 100-year-old Belgian mirror tent were pulled back to unleash another spectacular evening of entertainment at Teatro ZinZanni's "Love, Chaos & Dinner" A reddish glow burned brightly at the heart of this gem-of-a-venue, as guests were enthusiastically led to their tables, where jaws were soon to be dropped, sides were guaranteed to be busted, and minds were sure to be blown."

"...Have the Zinzanni gracious elevator host whisk you to the fourteenth floor to experience a magical, enchanting, fantastique evening. You will enter a rich realm of what has been described as European Cabaret, American Vaudeville ribald comedy, Cirque du Soleil style acrobatics, and P.T. Barnum Circus performances that delight and mesmerize. It is all this and more. The star performers interact with the audience. You become an integral part of this unparalleled entertainment production while dining on a multi-course sumptuous, gourmet dinner."
