Show Information


Guthrie Theatre

Star Tribune- Recommended

"...While Rucker’s production, designed by Ralph Funicello, could be wilder and woollier, it is still worth seeing. There are bits of gorgeous humor in it, including a piece where Lichtscheidl does lines from Gilbert & Sullivan."

Rohan Preston



Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Recommended

"..."Mr. Burns" is an unusual fit for the Guthrie's McGuire Proscenium, both because the space feels somewhat large for the intimate piece and because the experimental play has more in common with the work that is often done a few floors up in the Dowling Studio. If the intermission chatter is any indication, it's a show that some Guthrie subscribers find challenging, and I'm all for that."

How Was The Show- Recommended

"...Veteran director Mark Rucker and his talented (super-talented; this is the Guthrie) cast do what they can. Only the ever-amazing Jim Lichtscheidl, with his straight forward but beautifully energized stage presence, and Kelsey Venter excel. In Act 3 Ryan Willams Smith plays Mr. Burns (At least I think he does. He's heavily made up. I could be wrong. I often am) beautifully."
