As a hotel concierge, I have used the AAA Tickets organization several times for my guests and I…read morehad realized I need to review the company. I had couple of guests that just checked in the hotel and had requested couple tickets for the Cubs game (before the play off series had started), Dave was able to track down couple tickets and the guests had liked the location and rate. Agreed to the purchase. When my guests had attempted to pick up the tickets, then an issue had arose with the tickets. The season ticket holder had changed his/her mind without letting AAA Tickets know until my guests had arrived to the gate to pick them up. The guests had to purchase new tickets so they could attend the game. The next day, I had called the agency at 11:00am and spoke to Paul regarding the situation. He had advised me, they had already had called the guests directly, refunded the fee and offered compasation. That is great customer service. I would recommend and I will continue to use AAA Tickets for any major events.

Can I give zero stars?…read more I went here this past summer to buy tickets to the Q101 block party concert for Shiny Toy Guns, Violent Femmes and Good Charlotte. They hadn't heard of the concert. Huh? How can a ticket sales place in Lincoln Park not know anything about Q101 or their summer concert festival? It was held at the Charter One Pavilion at Northerly Island!! It would be one thing if they said, "Sorry, we don't sell tickets for that concert". But to not even know what I'm talking about?? I am not a huge concert goer- but I would NEVER use this agency again!!

While annoying, I realize that stuff happens. The reason for one star was the customer service. The woman on the phone did not apologize one time.

I would AVOID these guys as they did not deliver the tickets promised.

We've been to the Old Town School many times, but not for several years now. A close cousin was…read moreplaying, who teaches at the school. We had tickets to see him play. Not reviewing his music (which was fantastic), but the venue. The room we were in was like a black box theater. The room was fairly small and intimate. It was open seating and when we arrived it was pretty full. We were very fortunate that there were two seats open in the third row. The room is acoustically sound (pun intended)... Seriously, being small, they really don't need to amplify the sound, even though they did have a microphone set up. As we were leaving, we got to roam the halls around the school. There were a lot of fun, vintage posters that were a lot of fun to look at. We met quite a few people who either had been students there, or were current students who had nothing but good things to say about the caliber of the educators and the Old Town School. Based on the performances we've seen there of students and faculty, I'd say we agree.

This update is regarding a visit to OSF was to attend their Wiggleworms open house. I've left the…read moreoverall rating the same because OTSFM is still great for a lot of reasons, but the Wiggleworms class isn't one of them. I've heard of the class before and always thought if I had a kid I'd take them, but I think the age range starts at 6 months so we started with a class with a different provider, Music Playhouse of Chicago. I'm glad we came to this one to try it out. While the kids seemed to be having fun, I didn't like it as much as the Music Playhouse class. Wiggleworms doesn't seem to have a developed curriculum. This was just an activity where the kids can grab shakers and toys, and the leader will sing what they want or take requests from the kids, but not a class that has any kind of particular learning outcomes upon which children build. Maybe it was different because it was an open house but I'd have expected they would showcase what an actual class was, and I think it's just not what I prefer. There are some pluses, though. They have weekend classes, which can be hard to find with other music classes for kids. I think it may also be significantly less expensive than the one I take my kiddo to. And they may have a few more babies-only classes than where we go now, which usually has only one of any (depending upon enrollment). I didn't realize before I had a child but there's a huge difference between children of 0-18 months and those beyond, so mixed age classes wasn't my thing at the time. So Wiggleworms has its pros, but overall I'd visit Old Town SFM for the classes and concerts but choose another children's music class.

I saw their immersive play Masque Macabre today and I have tickets to see The Revolutionists next month. The MM production quality and acting were top notch, with richly layered lighting to set the tones of the various areas and highly detailed sets and props. The costumers did a great job of using various masqusrade masks to highlight the inner workings of each character and I really enjoyed the way in which we were brought into the world MM inhabits. Being an immersive theatre artist myself, I saw a lot of potential in the script, yet found the plot lacking any real driving force or conflict. Because of this it quickly deflated for me, which is something that happens a lot with newcomers to immersive theatre. I was still able to enjoy myself by viewing the piece as more of an art installation and character study than a theatrical narrative. I do hope Strawdog continues to develop other immersive pieces because they really are onto something. With some tweaks they could have the next big hit on their hands. I would even love the opportunity to point out the show's flaws and help them strengthen their immersive aspects. I was still very impressed by what they put together and look forward to seeing The Revolutionists next month.

I would recommend any artist to seek Bass-Schuler for representation, and I would also recommend any college (or any organization hosting an event) to browse the Bass-Schuler roster for an entertainer for their event!

I've dropped by the office on the Northside of Chicago and seen them working a NACA showcase out of town. Regardless of if you're working with them on the phone, over email or in person, you've got a group of creatives who love what they do and connect their talented roster with the right event on campus. They have had some big stars involved as well and have grown as a company, but never lost sight of what makes entertainment so fun in the first place. Highly Recommend! Especially their one woman looping band. ;)
