Radio Golf Tunes Into Chicago Opening Tonight

Radio Golf Tunes Into Chicago Opening Tonight

Radio Golf -- the final chapter in Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning August Wilson's prolific cycle of the African American experience -- opens this evening at Chicago's Goodman Theatre.

As if the Goodman's August Wilson Celebration weren't enough to pique the public's interest, last week's news that the Kenny Leon-helmed Radio Golf is likely Broadway-bound has surely swelled audiences further as evidenced by the Goodman's one-week extension to February 25. It will also likely sharpen the critics' focus on the show.

The cast of Radio Golf includes: Anthony Chisholm (who starred on Broadway in two of Wilson's other works, Two Trains Running and Gem Of The Ocean), Hassan El-Amin, John Earl Jelks (who also starred in Gem Of The Ocean on Broadway), Michole Briana White and James A. Williams.

Naturally, I'll be providing a critics' capsule in the days ahead. And you can look for my own review of the show after I see it on February 4.

This is Steve On Broadway (SOB).
