I had a great time tonight at the show "Million Dollar Quartet" at the Apollo Theater in Chicago.
My wife, daughter and I sat in the front row, stage left. We were literally within a couple of feet of the stage. I think this may have been the closest I've been to the stage of a play. The stage at the Apollo Theater isn't raised... it's floor level, so it almost felt like we were sitting on the stage!
The music was great! Obviously, the songs were all "standards" that we all know from Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. The actors did a great job imitating the legendary singers and they played their own instruments too.
The Apollo Theater is a very intimate setting. It is right next to the EL tracks so entering the theater, we were greeted by the noisy trains. But surprisingly, inside the theater, we didn't notice the train noise.
It was fun to watch the show and spend time with my family. Highly recommended!
