One-Man Star Wars Trilogy Returns to Chicago

FrostyWheaton writes "The One-Man Star Wars Trilogy has returned to Chicago and is playing at the Apollo Theater through February 14th. I was at this show last time it was in Chicago (old Slashdot story) and it was even better this time around. The Apollo theater is much larger than the previous venue providing four times the seating and stage space elminitating the cramped feeling the show had last year. The show has not changed a great deal, but it is slightly expanded, including a few jabs at the latest Star Wars re-working."

  4. One-Man LotR by scowling · · Score: 4, Interesting

    His One-Man LotR is brilliant. He performs all three movies in an hour, and by the end of it he's exhausted and dripping wet.

    He's a local boy, too, having graduated from the University of Victoria. Frankly, a local boy getting big-time acting attention in the outside world is more newswothy, IMHO, than the fact that he's playing Chicago. He played Vancouver four times the other month. Why wasn't that a front-page headline?
