Hi. My name’s Bob and I’m a Chicago Theatre Addict [CTA]. These are my confessions.
(This blog was formerly called “Robertianish.” I changed the name to reflect the evolution of this blog’s focus. Plus, it was a shitty title anyway.)
I adore Chicago theatre. All shapes and sizes: Storefront, big budget, black box, splashy musicals, gritty dramas, Broadway in Chicago, broken folding chairs in a basement. I’ll take it all and share my thoughts here.
About a year ago, I committed to making this blog more about Chicago theatre, since I think any good blog needs a focus. And a stiff drink.
That said, it’s not *strictly* theatre. So I hope you’ll accept the wishy-washy way I run things around here. I never claimed to be consistent — only constant.
Also, a word of warning: Should you choose to dig into my archived posts, I claim no responsibility for my younger, dumber self. So proceed with caution, and all that.
A little about me: I live in Chicago, recently discovered a hidden talent for running, love theatre (obviously), and am approaching 30 (!). If you’re really bored, check out my 100 things, and then feel better about yourself.

And finally, please leave comments! I’d love to hear what you think, and promise to do my best to reply.
Thank you.
And now it’s time for some desperate self-promotion:
I’ll review your show!
Give me a ticket, and I’ll help spread the word here. While I can’t promise a glowing review if your show’s a clunker, I can promise that I’ll be honest and thoughtful. Simply contact me. A collection of my reviews can be found here.
Hey Hon. Great Site. I was half expecting the face of Patti to come up from the screen or something! Miss you and lets get together soon. Grey Gardens is coming in two months.

Hey dude. I just stumbled across your blog tonight and immediately bookmarked you. I was gonna add you to my blogroll if you’re cool with that. I’d appreciate getting added to yours if you’re cool with THAT. :) Let me know.
Thanks!

Dear Robert,
Thank you for your kind and generous compliments to me on your blog. It’s always nice to have my work appreciated. I shall keep plugging along, but in the meantime I am having great fun rehearsing as Cruella DeVil. To set the record straight, Jools never hit on me, but I am flattered by the rumor. We both dig guys, but celebrate a women’s power. I confess, however, I have great difficulty celebrating Sarah Pailin and Ann Coulter. BTW, “Lucy” did win sweeps week with over 13 million veiwers (lol), but I catch your drift. I had the same reaction. Thanks again for the support. Wishing you all the best.
Hugs,
Rachel York

Wow! I’m so flattered that you took the time to read my blog AND respond, Ms. York. It’s easy to give compliments to someone so talented.
And thanks for clearing up the rumor. It’s one of those rumors that everyone hears and just shakes their head.
(And then a-holes like me perpetuate them…)
Anyway, I’ll be sure to check out Dalmatians when it stops in Chicago.
Regards,
Bob
