Review of the updated Bleacher Bums play.

'Cross Town Classic' won't disappoint
by DOUG DEUCHLER

Beginning its ninth season, the Open Door Repertory Company offers a delightful rendition of the Chicago classic by Joe Mantegna, "Bleacher Bums." This particular production presents the late '70s script's most recent updating, subtitled "Cross Town Classic." It's a charming baseball yarn without a single baseball player in the cast. This new version is now set during the annual afternoon baseball game pitching the Chicago Cubs against the Chicago White Sox.

This play was previously mentioned here.

Has anyone here seen this one yet? I saw the original play way back when during its original run. I recall being shocked that Ronnie Woo Woo was quite different in the play.
