We went to catch the Elvis Musical at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre. I didn't know what to expect but was excited to go as I grew up listening to Elvis and watching his movies with my grandmother. I thought parking would be difficult but I was able to find parking easily. Getting to the main theatre is easy and finding our seats. The staff were friendly. The stage was pretty small cause I pictured a huge stage. But it was nice and the actor and actresses entered the stage from all corners and sides of the theatre. The musicians were great and the sounds and songs were clear. I definitely sang along. Intermission arrived and we were given 15 minutes. It was enough time to get water and use the bathroom. Lines were not long for either. When the show ended, people filed out pretty quickly. There was a little of a bottleneck getting to the road that leads out but I noticed that the other side of the parking lot was empty and had no line hitting the main road and I was out in 2 minutes. I had a great time and will be looking out for future musicals to attend.

We returned with the kiddos on 8-09-26 to see this season's last performance of "A Year with Frog and Toad". It was delightful and probably the best Young Audience production we have seen here to date. The production was cute and hilarious with a well written and witty script. That's a good thing too as the kiddos are growing up quickly and we have been accused of taking them to shows that are meant for "little kids", not them, and we now need advance approval before buying tickets lol!

I was here with Yelp Chicago for Heartbreak Hotel. We saw the first act of the show, then after an extended intermission, they announced that due to inclement weather and flooding in the area, they were calling our show and the subsequent ones for that weekend. They made an announcement to please call the theater the following Tuesday and they would give us tickets to ANY of the remaining dates to see the conclusion of the show. I called Tuesday and they did just that! The process was very easy and a week later, I was able to the second act of Heartbreak Hotel. The theater in the round insures there are not really bad seats in the house! I have been here for everything from You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown [Theater for Young Audiences] to Big Fish to Damn Yankees to Something Rotten over the years. I am grateful to my grandparents who instilled the theater into me by bringing my young self here! I also appreciate that the Marriott Theatre works with the Chicago League of Theaters to offer accessibly priced tickets. And after viewing Catch Me If You Can, they allowed the next generation of theater viewers to have a meet and greet with JJ Neimann, who a lot of kids connected with via TikTok. Parking is free and close to the doors, the seats are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, the box office is competent, and the productions are top notch! Not much else you can ask for!

I've been to this Marriott theater several times already to watch different shows throughout the years. However, this most recent visit was to see heartbreak Hotel thanks to the Yelp elite event. On the night of which I came there happen to be some very severe storms that caused the play to stop at the point of intermission so that all the audience members could go home safely. The Marriott theater was so kind as to give us an option to get tickets to another scheduled show to be able to see it from start to finish and it's entirety. This was so generous and so kind of them to do. And every time they put on a show here this place is absolutely fantastic. I love being able to come here and buy tickets to come here for other shows because parking is free and there are none of these add-on fees on top of the tickets like you get for the other shows down in the city. Hear the traffic is manageable to get in and get out of it whether it's before or even after a show. So none of this craziness that you have to deal with the city. If you've never seen a show here, I highly encourage and strongly recommend that you look at the various and diverse shows and offerings and buy a ticket and support the theater.

Always a great time! We had been invited to check out Heartbreak Hotel on April 17th, but because of the storm they shut it down in the middle and offered the option to return to see the full show. Tonight, May 1, 2026 we returned to see the full show and it was great. The story line is great and the end was fantastic!

My original tickets to Heartbreak Hotel were April 17. We got through the first half of the show before tornado sirens went off and intermission extended to a full hour before the storms passed. The second half of the show was canceled due to the risk of flooding. While this was all unexpected and disappointing, the staff did a good job keeping us updated and definitely made safety a priority. The Marriott let us reschedule our tickets, so I returned April 30 to see the first half of Heartbreak Hotel again, along with the second half. The show chronicled Elvis' rise to fame, beginning with when he received his first guitar as a child to playing different styles of music because he locked in on rock 'n' roll. I didn't know anything about his younger years, so it was run to learn about the first half of his story. It also took us through his service in the U.S. Army, meeting Ann Margaret and Priscilla, the death of his mother and birth of his daughter, and being caught between performing how he wanted to vs what the producers expected. It did not address his self-destructive period or death. As always, the cast was very talented. The child who played young Elvis was particularly memorable. And there were a few songs that had the audience clapping along, which helped with the energy in the room. I've seen many shows at the Marriott, and this time I felt like the energy from the stage wasn't quite there. But I think that was more due to the script than the talent. Thank you @marriotttheatre and @yelpchicago for a fun night (and a half) out! I look forward to returning for future productions!

Love the 360 stage here!!! Thanks Kesha and Marriott Theatre for the tickets to go see Little Shop of Horrors. Also saw Joseph and the technicolor dream coat as well as In the Heights! The cast and team for the shows are always top notch! Sound and lighting are always immaculate! Parking is easy, love visiting here for a show!

It was a fun and entertaining night at the Marriott Theater seeing the pop culture play The Little Shop of Horrors. The performers were excellent and how they enacted the people and animated Audrey II (the plant) was really amazing! The voice of Audrey II was excellent. Express Thanks to our CM Kesha for arranging this fun night out! Thanks to Marriott as well for hosting Yelper's!

Went and saw a little night music. This was one of the best we have seen so far the cast was amazing. There are a few new to the Marriott. The singing was very clear and easy to listen to. Definitely a worth seeing performance

Unique theater with actors relating to the audience.
Sue L.

This was my first time visiting the theater. The show and layout were mesmerizing. The characters constantly were walking through the aisles bringing their characters to life. A Little Night of Music was a story about multiple couples trying to find love and happiness with constant stream of songs. I want to say that there was a 15 minute intermission. I would recommend show for fast paced music. The two hours and 40 minutes of the show went fast. Parking was free in large parking lot. The restaurants were nearby inside the building for convenience. Photos were not allowed during the show. It would have been nice to get a photo of the hard working performers at the end.

Bailey C.

We saw Little Shop of Horrors and it was a blast!! I would say it is one of my favorite musicals. The show is about 2 hours. The cast, sound, lights and choreography are all phenomenal. It is crazy to see what they can do in such a small space. I really liked how the cast for Audrey II, specifically the "arms or leafs" have such great expressions and are totally immersed in their roles vs. just moving the arms. Besides the show, the seats are comfortable, the venue is very nice and there is plenty of parking space. Thank you so much Marriott Theatre, Yelp and Kesha for having us!!

It's been a minute since I've been to the Marriott Theater. Not sure why it's been so long, it's such a great venue for shows! The space is intimate, but not cramped. There isn't a bad seat in the house. The unique octagon stage in the middle adds to the theater experience. As a Yelp Elite member, I was treated to tickets by Yelp and Marriott Theater to opening night of the Million Dollar Quartet Christmas. What a treat!! Phenomenal group of actors, the singing and instrument playing. The entire show was entertaining. I loved nostalgic classic music. I highly recommend this show for the entire family! Marriott Theaters also has a Children's Theater. When my daughter was younger, I used to bring her to shows. Right now, they're showing Finding Nemo.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to attend Little Shop of Horrors event last night at the Marriott Theatre, and what an absolute delight it was. From the moment my husband and I stepped through the doors, everything felt magical. The lobby was beautiful, the theater layout was thoughtfully designed, and the seats were incredibly comfortable with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the show. The intermission snacks and beverages were a lifesaver after a long workday and a missed dinner, and they were exactly what I needed to keep the evening going. As for the performance itself--wow. It exceeded every expectation. The lighting, sets, and overall production were top-notch, and the cast's vocals were simply stunning. Every detail felt intentional and expertly executed. The CM did a fantastic job, and I'm truly thankful to have been selected for this event. I will absolutely be back to the Marriott Theatre for at least one--if not two--of their upcoming shows. The lineup looks excellent, and this experience definitely earned a repeat visit. Thank you again for such a wonderful night, even if it was subzero outside

Wonderful performance!

LAD's environment is positive and loving, and all of the instructors are personally interested in the physical and emotional well-being of all dancers, as if they are their own kids. My daughter took dance lessons for 15 years. When it came time to switch studios halfway through her career, she considered four other studios. Some taught good technique but the environment was toxic, or there was not enough focus on technique and too much focus on competitions, or they made you choose between the studio or high school activities rather than allowing both, or the dress code was not professional in the studio and on stage. Only LAD was highly recommended by one of my daughter's directors at the time. We read all of the LAD instructor bios to learn about the depth and breadth of their experience, attended a recital, and my daughter took a summer class. She was sold, switched to LAD year round, and traveled an hour roundtrip to get to/from the studio for many years. LAD was life-changing for my daughter. She found her passion and the joy of dance, thrived in a positive environment, and also made amazing memories and friendships that she'll cherish forever.

This past weekend I went back for their Soundscapes exhibit, which is a partnership with various non-profits and focused on art made by veterans and their families. I went to the opening reception, which was free, and included performances/spotlights on the participating partner organizations and some of the artists featured. It was a moving event (especially being Veteran's Day weekend) and a powerful exhibit. This is a great space and I loved learning more about how they support the local community and partner with other non-profits to bring art to the space and make art accessible. Highly recommend. Also, the surrounding area is stunning, so being able to see art and enjoy nature is a double dose of joy.

We followed the Director, Sarah, here from the Northbrook location something like SIX YEARS AGO…read morewhere she had been serving as the assistant director. She is phenomenal and even if you do not put much stock into reviews in general, the proof should be we followed her to an entirely new school and now have our third child at the school... by the time we are done with this one we will have been with Sarah almost ten years! This Gardner School is fantastic. It starts with the leadership at the top and is felt all the way down, but you cannot miss the attention to the detail and just how great this school is. First, they are great with the kids. Seems basic, but needs to be said. From the 2 rooms through every room we have experienced the teachers and staff know how to make kids happy, healthy, safe, smart, etc. Second, the actual programs at this school are unmatched. The core programs in the classes are fantastic and are some of the best planned out things I have seen any school offer for kids this young. Not only that, but the extracurricular actives offered are diverse and awesome. The new assistant director has been excellent putting together these programs and provides awesome photos/videos. Yes... they do cost extra money, but (a) you easily get the value out of it, (b) you get to expose your kid(s) to things you may not have the time to outside of school because of things like work and (c) the kids love them. Third (and I'll make it last), the communication is unbeatable. I cannot oversell this! The staff and teachers are always receptive to conversations, feedback, etc. (I talk to Sarah more than I talk to my mom)... and the teachers are great with the app they use. Even if something doesn't go accordingly to plan at the School it isn't a complete disaster because the School actually communicates with you and you feel fully in the loop. The pictures, updates, etc. on the app make getting through the work day so much easier. Anyway, as a growing family we have moved from Morton Grove to Highland Park and have experienced different daycares/Schools. All have positives, but the Gardner School is far in away the best school ever. This location in particular has something special about it! There is literally no one in my life I wouldn't recommend this school to. No one asked me to write this review, but I really do feel passionately about the school and want to support it in anyway I can. Best decision you will ever make.

Must say loved her fake eyelashes though and she can go on for hours talking about them! Stay away from stuck up people and this facility for ur own good!

Sadly, I've never attended school here and our house isn't zoned for the district. Instead, I'm reviewing Stevenson for its fantastic community education program PREP. I've attended two classes here and had great experiences. For 8 weeks this fall, I learned ASL with a group of women ranging from high school age to retired 60s. All of us attended the class with different goals in mind, but all loved it. Our instructor Jillian was fantastic. For those two hours weekly, we learned new signs, had pop quizzes, and asked tons of questions related to ASL. I learned so much and value the experience greatly. When my hectic working mom schedule ever simmers down again to allow a hobby, I plan to continue to learn more. The other class I attended was sushi in the food lab with my husband as a mini date of sort. The Stevenson food lab is gorgeous like much nicer than our 1998 laminate kitchen countertop in our house. The instructor was again fantastic and informative. My husband and I had a great night and have already signed up for the next sushi class. Thanks to the Stevenson PREP program, I became one of those adults who attends adult education classes at a high school. Fortunately, they were wonderful experiences. I plan to look at the brochure and find other classes or mini date nights.
