JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN January 23, 2027
By Kimberly Belflower
Directed by Marti Lyons
The kids are not only all right, they’re on fire.
Fueled by pop music, optimism and fury, five young women are about to light up some of the darkest secrets of their one-stoplight town. The Chicago premiere of the Tony Award nominated Broadway smash sensation—hailed as “the new era of cool-girl theater” (BrooklynRail.org) “igniting its own cultural moment” (Variety)—pulses with humor and energy. Heroes, villains and who gets blamed when the hysteria starts are up for debate in this “vital, hilarious, thrilling and urgently necessary” (The New York Times) unflinching perspective of a generation staking its claim.
A co-production with Guthrie Theater.
