The Chaos Theory of Everything at Second City

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...Second City's 49th e.t.c. revue starts with the company welcoming first timers to the famed comedy theater - a rather sweet idea and a signal that "Chaos Theory of Everything" marks something of a welcome return to Second City's longstanding ethos of letting the audience drive as much of the show as possible."

"...This is a difficult review for me to write. I love Second City and the brilliant work that I have watched there over the years ( or perhaps I should say eons). The latest show on the mainstage was so well done that I may have expected more than I saw tonight, but I will say that there were some bright spots in the new ( and 49th) production entitled "Chaos Theory of Everything". As always, the shows are written by the performers and worked on during the rehearsal period to tighten spots. This show directed by Anthony LeBlanc uses the stage well and does a bit more of "into the audience area" than most."

"...Those who have dived deep into the vernacular of Saturday Night Live are familiar with the “ten to one” slot—the last sketch of each episode, sandwiched between the musical guest’s second performance and the traditional goodnights, that often offers an outlet for wackier premises that might lack broad appeal (though “Wayne’s World” defied the odds by eclipsing its 1989 debut in that slot with two hit theatrical movies by the end of 1993)."

"...The Second City e.t.c.'s CHAOS THEORY OF EVERYTHING is a potpourri of comedy. While some past e.t.c. revues have loosely unified around a theme, CHAOS describes this one well. It's a little bit of everything. As with past Second City revues, that means some of the jokes really land...and some don't. With direction from Anthony LeBlanc, returning company members Meghan Babbe, Jenelle Cheyne, Javid Iqbal, and Tim Metzler are joined by newcomers Spencer Hodges and Max Thomas. This ensemble mixes it up with some topical/political sketches and some evergreen ones."
