FROM THE CRITICS

“Director Taylor Pasche does a great job keeping Throbbin’ Wood moving at a rapid clip, and it never wears the audience out, even with its fairly relentless onslaught of jokes and songs. Choreographer Jen Cupani and Music Director Chad Gearing make the numbers, though parodies of mainstream songs, feel relevant, impressive and entertaining.”

Matt Simonette, Windy City Times

“Bawdy, audacious, and often ridiculous”

Julia W Rath, Around The Town Chicago

“Throbbin’ Wood, complete with Merry Men? Count me in!”

Sarz Maxwell, Buzz Center Stage

“While the dynamic props, slapstick comedy and crowd work maintained the story’s pulse, the chemistry in full-cast scenes breathed life into the show. As characters riffed off each other’s absurdity and libidos, the audience was immersed in horny heroics and teeming theatrics.”

Faith Hug, Loyola Phoenix

“Open-minded audiences who like their entertainment loud, ludicrous and lascivious will absolutely relish this alternative holiday entertainment.”

Colin Douglas, theatreinchicago.com

“If an abundance of codpieces, references to King Dick, and sex toy inspired choreography sounds like your idea of a good time, then get thee to Frottingham.”

Emily McClanathan, Chicago Reader
