How Raven Theatre's intimate production grew into the Goodman without losing what made it extraordinary.
Some shows entertain you. Some stay with you long after the lights come up.
Dave Malloy's Octet somehow manages to make you laugh, catch your breath, and feel something land squarely in your chest within the span of ninety minutes. I left reminded why l've carried this musical with me for years.
I wrote a reflection on Raven Theatre's extraordinary production and its transfer to Goodman Theatre. I rarely have the time and energy to do much besides work, let alone write, but I’ve been working on this in snippets in my notes app to then organize it today for posting. I encourage all who are able to go experience it to do so. If this is your jam, you won’t be disappointed.
Note: Octet is only playing until August 2nd and there's limited seats available! If you’re in the area and want to buy a ticket, message me for a 20% off tickets discount (though please advise, I’m unsure if these work for early Sunday showings or similar discounted days/times).
