Summer 2024

Theo Ubique
Playing the role of
Petra & Understudying Charlotte
in ​
A little Night Music​
​
MAY 24TH-jULY 14TH, 2024
​
I will admit, though, that at first I thought his handling of Madison Kauffman’s bawdy maidservant Petra was keyed for some far less genteel sex comedy. In a musical where everyone dances around the point, she’s direct, an exclamation point in a world of ellipses. But, through verve and sparkle, she not only turns the solo “The Miller’s Son” into a highlight...but “The Miller’s Son” reminds us that “maybe but alas” is not the means with which the romantic fools she serves should live life. One can always look back and forward and at what’s directly in front.
And Madison Kauffman gives the unapologetically lusty maid Petra a powerful agency that turns “The Miller’s Son” into a sex-positive anthem for the ages.
-Then, placed ingeniously as the eleven o’clock number, “The Miller’s Son” follows those metaphorical clowns. Throughout A Little Night Music, Petra the maid (Madison Kauffman) celebrates her sexuality with an ease that no one else shares. But her song is a lusty reality check, reminding us that the joys of the flesh are short lived.
...a flirtatious maid named Petra (the terrific Madison Kauffman), who, by virtue of her station and spirits, gets to have sex with whoever she wants while laughing off all of the hypocritical moralism of the fancy people who surround her.

Madison will be spending this Fall/winter at
Music theater works

​
...The supporting cast is also made up of performers exhibiting a vast wealth of talent. Madison Kauffman is magnificent as sexually charged lass Meg Brockie. She has an electric energy that is utterly captivating. If there is one regret leaving the theater at the end of the night, it is that Kauffman didn’t have more scenes. A talented singer and dancer, Kauffman’s charisma as an actress could light up a small city...

Mira Temkin-
....lovely Madison Kauffman, as lusty Meg Brockie. Ms. Kauffman has been seen on just about every stage in Chicagoland, from Paramount to Chicago Shakespeare, from Drury Lane to Broadway in Chicago. In her two big numbers, “The Love of My Life” and, providing a wee bit of comic relief in Act II with “My Mother’s Wedding Day,” Ms. Kauffman belts each song out of the park.....
