"Genuinely fresh and funny... a much more worthwhile show than its national equivalents." -Chicago
Tribune, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED "Hilarious!" -Today's Chicago Woman "The original pop tunes and the humor come fast and furious... 'Pop Psychology' is filled with both cheeky observations about the self-help genre and catchy melodies you'll hum all the way home." -Chicago
Sun-Times, RECOMMENDED "Side-splitting humor!" -Citytalk "Picture Paul Simon channeling Dr. Phil and you get the gist of Tony Rogers's self-help sing-along... The original score is reminiscent of the melodious, twisted tunes of They Might Be Giants, only sweeter. The jokes are giggleworthy, and Rogers's warm, easy pop style makes it hard not to smile and sing along." -Chicago Reader (CRITIC'S CHOICE) "I enjoyed the show especially because not only was it funny, it was touching too. Tony Rogers' music and lyrics reflect the buoyancy of intimacy as well as the heartache. This strikes me as honest and admirable." -Ben Hollis, Ben Around Town "I've been listening to Tony and his band The Good grow increasingly better at their craft of being pop musicians, but nothing really indicated to me that Tony would be out with a disc this good, and a performance that's... it's extraordinary. I laughed, I cried, I sang along. The show is sharp, well paced and brings the audience in without pandering. Unlike most concerts I've seen lately, I'd attend this again!" -Richard Milne, WXRT 2002 CABARET SHOW OF THE YEAR "The songs are hilarious... You can't help but laugh out loud and feel good. This is a show you shouldn't miss!" -Chicago
Arts & Entertainment "I laughed. I cried. I went home and had great sex." -Amy Krouse Rosenthal, WBEZ Here's what fans have said: "Pop Psychology was a perfect date night out. Funny, smart, and entertaining... now if only my date had those same qualities." "Dr. Tony took a fun, original premise and combined it with scathing wit and memorable music. Truly spectacular." "I loved this show the first time. So I went back. Now I love it even more!" "I generally don't like musical theater. This is the exception. The music was memorable and funny, and the show was entertaining throughout." "I could be here for a long time describing the show in effusive adjectives, but I'm going to get right to the heart of the matter and give it the highest praise I can: it's worth missing Iron Chef for on Saturday night." "All I can say is...For a good time don't call Tony, go see and experience the evening that no other guy could duplicate!" "It's virtually impossible to sit through this show without having a great time. Go ahead and try not to smile -- I dare you." |
