Daydream believers: Second City’s 111th mainstage revue hits the sweet spot. | ✍️ kerryreid
Open run: Tue-Thu 8 PM, Fri-Sat 7 and 10 PM, Sun 7 PM, Second City Mainstage, 1616 N. Wells, 312-337-3992,Featuring most of the cast from the previous show , the show is, as the title implies, an exploration of the gaps between reality and fantasy. While not deeply committed to the concept, the loose framework allows for a refreshing celebration of the absurdity and perfidy of human nature.
There are glancing references to Clarence Thomas and attacks on reproductive rights, but really, given how quickly the news is hitting and the timeline is exploding, going topical would be a fool’s errand. So director and choreographer Carisa Barreca lets the fools run the show, and it makes for a mostly blissful outing, with no real duds in the bunch and a few heartfelt surprises.
Claire McFadden and Evan Mills play a pretentious acting teacher and her friend, who has been an extra in just about every movie you can name. Kiley Fitzgerald is Menopausal Barbie , talking about compression socks. Morales and Stafford play a big sister and younger brother trying to reconnect on a road trip, where the songs on the radio provide a source of both unexpected bonding and ridiculous mondegreens.of a show provides a perfect excuse for checking back in.
