Press

"The spirit of 'Chicago' is alive and well in 'Glensheen,'…(the) same winking attitude made Kander and Ebb’s murder musical a ripping success. And make no mistake, “Glensheen” is a success …An engaging, swiftly paced musical, dotted with big performances, hummable melodies and forays into cabaret and fantasy. This buoyant work is… a slashing fit of fun." - Minneapolis Star Tribune

"When Ron Peluso announced a musical based on the infamous Congdon murders, he raised eyebrows all over town. Writer Jeffrey Hatcher and composer Chan Poling, however, pulled off a spectacular feat with a shamelessly witty script and score. Peluso staged the complexities well; a fine cast rose to the occasion, and “Glensheen” sold at 98 percent capacity, a History Theatre record."
- Lavender Magazine

“What you get is dark comedy-musical gold. Glensheen is a fantastic new original musical…dark and delicious, hilarious and musically entertaining, poignant and tragic.” - Cherry and Spoon

‘Glensheen’ again.
Audiences are laughing along with the musical comedy “Glensheen” for the fourth straight summer. The Jeffrey Hatcher/Chan Poling show expertly tiptoes between good taste and good fun as it explores the 1977 double-murder at Duluth’s infamous Glensheen mansion and the subsequent trial. The result is a riot, with snappy songs and a showstopping performance by Twin Cities stage vet Wendy Lehr in numerous roles. -
