“LaChiusa’s music sounds even better in the hands of Didier’s cast, several of whom pack powerhouse pipes that could fill houses far larger than Theo Ubique’s pleasingly intimate cabaret. Under Jeremy Ramey’s musical direction, (Megan) Elk, (Nora) Navarro and Neala Barron (who plays The Actress) all bring showstopping vocal might to their numbers”

Huntsberger, Chicago Sun-Times

“…the chance to experience this rarely heard LaChiusa piece, staged intimately and putting you within just a few feet of Ramey’s live ensemble, will be reason enough to spend 90 minutes at this Evanston cabaret. ”

(Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune)

An adult musical fantasy suggested by Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde. A series of love affairs among ten characters during the ten different decades of the 20th Century as though seen through the lens of a combination time machine and bawdy, old-time kinescope. Hello Again crisscrosses beds and jumps from decade to decade, intimately examining the painful secrets that drive characters into each other’s arms and towards the bruising effects of reckless passion.
