Chester Theatre Group

Writing in the Recorder Newspapers (Mt. Olive Chronicle, Randolph Reporter, etc.), Sheila Abrams calls our current production of Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopits’ Nine “Spectacular … [t]his may be the theatrical bargain of the year.”

‘Spectacular’ sounds like an odd word for a production staged in the Black River Playhouse, a charming little jewel box of a theater in the round that is home to the Chester Theatre Group.

However, as they say, if the shoe fits… And in the case of the musical “Nine,” now in production there, it fits like Cinderella’s slipper. This very unusual show, with a score by Maury Yeston and a book by Arthur Kopit, has been staged in a style that can only be called spectacular.

Choice tickets are still available for tonight’s performance and Sunday’s.  There’s no show tomorrow, July 4, in honor of our national celebration.
