"Chicago is a beloved, crowd-pleasing musical, and the production of the "teen edition" of the show at Spotlight Youth Theatre is excellent. From the opening moments, it is clear that the talented teenage cast is fully committed, the direction is sharp, and the choreography crackles with energy. Everyone in the cast moves with confidence and style, capturing the show's sly humor and jazzy swagger while making the material feel accessible and exciting for a teen cast. While there are a few sanitized cuts in the script, Spotlight's production is an impressive achievement that balances polish with youthful vitality."   - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
