I was at the same show as you and got to chat with Josh (writer/director) after the show. Turns out the set belongs to another show, they are just trying to fit around it--that is why it feels clunky and some of the staging is so odd. It was originally staged in a larger space. I give the cast credit for making it work and hope they get enough momentum to get it back to a bigger stage. Agreed that it is worth the trek and a solid hour of laughing.

It’s 1933 and the mob rules Chicago with an iron fist. And ironic beards are rampant!
