Review by: "L', Oct 10, 2012 |
| I was hesitant to buy tickets because of the reviews and am so glad I did. The 4 of us loved it. Liked seeing the original movies of Chaplin interspersed with the play. Very enjoyable. |

Rob McClure....here is your tony!!! Review by: lulu, Oct 9, 2012 |
| Like many others I was unsure about this production, but I can honestly say it is one of the best musicals I have ever seen. Rob McClure is pure genious as Charlie Chaplin. The show captures your attention and touches your heart. The costumes and sets and use of film are amazing. Go see it!! |

Great Show,Go See It.... Review by: Ed, Oct 7, 2012 |
| Absolutely loved this show. Everything from the costumes,scenery,lighting,choreography, singing and acting set the mood for an enjoyable theater experience. Rob McClure was simply incredible as Charlie Chaplin! One couldn't take your eyes off him during the entire show,he is that good. If you are looking for a wonderful time to get away from it all for awhile, go see " Chaplin",it is definitely worth seeing. Looking forward to seeing ... read more it again very soon. |

Review by: Mcat, Oct 6, 2012 |
The Critics were pretty harsh on this show...but I thought there were some very good sections..A few songs were so so.. a bit of the book could use a nudge... But all in all a good time...
The young boy was phenomenal. And Rob McClure was very good. |

I LOVED this show Review by: Rob, Oct 5, 2012 |
| Would see it again in a minute. It was visually stunning, brimming with talent, and Rob McClure is just amazing. I saw the show a week ago and I'm still singing "Come See Charlie Chaplin!" Can't wait for the soundtrack to relive a great theatre experience. |

Chaplin is Phenomenal! The Best I've Seen on Broadway in Years! Critics Be Damned! Review by: George the Village Manager, Sep 30, 2012 |
| My wife and I saw Chaplin in previews. It was phenomenal! And incredibly emotional. McClure captured the essence of Chaplin entirely. Ignore the critics entirely. In fact, they all need to retire from the biz en masse. In my eyes they've lost all credibility. This was the best play I've seen on Broadway in years! In fact, while exiting the theatre and eavesdropping on my fellow theatre-goers, the comments were unanimously positive. One ... read more has to wonder what planet these critics came from. My sense is Chaplin will be around for a very long time! |

PURE GOLD! Review by: Heather, Sep 14, 2012 |
Even before the show started, with the black and white (apart from red rose button hole) image of The Little Tramp just slightly moving, this show just shone.
Rob McClure's performance was fantastic and the whole show deserves some Tonys. It personified the Golden Years of Hollywood with beautiful costumes, the sets were great and the story of the extraordinary life of Charlie Chaplin was captivating. I just wished they had included the ... read more song "Smile" which he wrote and I think is one of the most beautiful songs of the 20th century. |

The Critics Missed This One! Review by: BigKen, Sep 14, 2012 |
| I took a busload of Broadway fans to see this new musical and to have dinner at Carmines. EVERYONE loved BOTH! The musical was so well done, creative, imaginative, and "fresh." The music was wonderful and the time went by so swiftly. I probably will go see it again. The critics were simply...WRONG!!! Go see it. You will NOT be disappointed. |

Don't believe the critics! Review by: pgp, Sep 13, 2012 |
| LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this musical. One of the best I've seen in years, and one of my all time favorites! All the voices are fantastic, and the story is just wonderful. And Rob McClure is simply amazing. If he doesn't get a Tony, I'd be shocked! How sad that the critics didn't see what I saw! GO...you won't be disappointed! |

Rob McClure: Answer Your Mail Review by: PG, Sep 12, 2012 |
| I know some people who have said mixed things about the show. Sadly the critics have trashed it. (not a surprise) I truly believe in karma. When you are kind to others, good comes back. Only time will tell if Chaplin can survive the terrible notices from critics. |

See it just to see Rob McClure Review by: Fan of Broadway, Sep 12, 2012 |
| While the story needs work and the music is only so-so, Rob McClure is superb. He is the most talented performer I have seen in a long time. He can sing, act and dance circles around many current Broadway stars. The show may not overwhelm audiences but Rob McClure's performance will. |

Glows with talent all around, want to see it again! Review by: originalcast, Sep 11, 2012 |
The critics were too analytical when they reviewed this show. Most of them thought the musical was overly sentimental and overly trivialized the career of Charlie Chaplin. I went knowing very little of the life and times of Chaplin and I found the show highly entertaining. The production values were top drawer and the use of projections were the best I have seen in a Broadway musical in recent memory.
Go see this show -- I do not think you ... read more will be disappointed. |
