The Fox On The Fairway Reviews

Chicago Sun Times - Highly Recommended

"...This is a riot of a hilarious show, but to add to its joyful exuberance, sound designer Barry G. Funderburg has heightened the fun-filled, upbeat mood of the production by inserting melodious musical numbers that include a Sousa march, Wagner's "Tannhauser" and "The William Tell Overture.""

Chicago Stage Review - Recommended

"...Theatre at the Center's production of The Fox on the Fairway is far more entertaining than I ever could have expected. Indeed, my initial reticence could have proven sage had this play been taken on by a lesser cast, but Ken Ludwig's hackneyed script could not hold this brilliant ensemble back. These outstanding performances - especially those of Linda Gillum, Norm Boucher, and the phenomenal Lance Baker - have convinced me that, while I still may detest golf, I just might enjoy the shenanigans in the clubhouse."

"...The audience laughed themselves silly and so will you. The Fox on the Fairway is a light-weight comedy that is perfect family fare and a graduate lesson in comedy acting. Fox is worth the ride to Munster - don't miss it!"

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...What makes this production complete is the technical aspect which is as solid as the direction and acting- Brenda Winstead’s costumes are amazing ( the gold sweaters are a hoot and the ladies evening attire very sensual), Denise Karczewski’s lighting is beautiful,Barry G. Funderburg’s sound both onstage and off is perfection and Lauren Earnhaw has found props that make it all fitting. Nicole Miller’s choreography is ideal and the fight and violence ( just a word, no actual violence takes place) by R & D Choreography is very real. When it comes to farce, every detail has to be timed just right. This production is not just right, it is perfect!"

Chicagoland Theater Reviews - Somewhat Recommended

"..."The Fox on the Fairway" is obviously intended to be a lark. It runs under two hours, including an intermission that divides the four scenes. The third scene contains virtually no dramatic substance, but the last scene wraps up the whole shebang in a rising tide of inanity. Just to flesh out the playing time, the entire cast runs through a reprise of the entire storyline that is by far the cleverest bit in the play."
