Mama's Boy - Chicago Tap Theatre



A half-price ticket led me to this unexpectedly good performance of Mama's Boy by the Chicago Tap Theatre.  Like ballet, the story was told through dance - tap dance, in this case.  There was a roving poet who provided narration for the story.  The music, written by Arne Parrott & Kurt Schweitz was the strongest part of the performance.  It was well suited for the dancing and enjoyable for the listener.  Unfortunately, the music in the preview (above) isn't the same as that performed.  I would definitely consider going to another production from this group!
