SHOW US YOUR LOVE
February 7 - March 28, 2010
"Bailiwick Chicago infuses new life and new love into Chicago’s musical theater scene with their spectacular production of Show Us Your Love! It is hard to imagine that one little one-hour musical review can have so much impact, but Show Us Your Love packs more crowd-pleasing moments in that all-too-brief hour than many musicals deliver in an entire run." - Venus Zarris, ChicagoStageReview.com

"If you like musicals, particularly the smaller, newer kind, and if you like getting to know the performers and the company that may well help shape musical theater in Chicago's off-Loop community in the foreseeable future, get thee to "Show Us Your Love." These are experienced professionals, doing work they love, and witnessing them stretching their late winter, recession-weary chops is a reward and a privilege. You will learn, you will feel, you will revel. Love is being shown." - Paul W. Thompson, BroadwayWorld.com

"This is such a great idea! Not only is it the perfect evening of diverse pieces (perfect for those of us with even the slightest bit of ADD) but it's also something that gives the public a chance to say, 'We want to see these shows, and not these shows,' and then Bailiwick delivers!" - ChicagoNow.com
