The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join WDCB's Gary Zidek to talk about Black Button Eyes Productions' GHOST QUARTET.

“If you would rather see, what is for me the most singular, most unique musical in Chicago right now, and brilliantly performed in addition, then you should head pronto to see Ghost Quartet.” - Jonathan Abarbanel urging listeners interested in seeing something different to check out Black Button Eyes Productions’ new musical.

“Director Ed Rutherford and (music director) Nick Sula definitely deserve credit for bringing this all together in such a delightful way. And I would go to see it again, and I think that says something.” - Kerry Reid praising Black Button Eyes’ new production.

Two strong recommendations from the Dueling Critics. Black Button Eyes Productions’ new musical GHOST QUARTET continues through August 17 at Stage 773.
