“Try thinking a mixture of ‘Chicago Blues’ and ‘Sounds of South Africa’ and a cast that includes 9 men who form an ensemble that truly is remarkable, and you have the amazing ‘Lindiwe’”

"It’s one of those special Chicago productions that would be tough to accurately describe its beauty to anyone who wasn’t there for it.”

— Buzz Center Stage

"Simonson gets at something vital about the way those we’ve lost never fully leave us — they’re always there in our heads and hearts, ready to hum us another tune.”
