Critic's Choice: A playful ‘Hero’ premieres at Marriott
LINCOLNSHIRE – “Hero,” premiering at Marriott Theatre, is a clever new musical written by Aaron Thielen with music and lyrics by Michael Mahler that taps into the life of an ordinary guy, a young graphic artist who’s a huge fan of superheroes like Spider-Man, Superman and Green Lantern.
The main character, Hero Batowski (Erich Bergen), is a 28-year-old marking time in Milwaukee living with his widowed father Al (Don Forston, in a splendid performance) and helping with the family business, a comic book store.
