Iceboy: Absurd Comedy with Heart | Chicago News

A wildly absurd musical comedy, “Iceboy!” premieres at the Goodman Theatre, where a 1930s Broadway diva buys a caveman frozen in ice who becomes a star. Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman shine in lead roles, with Mullally’s diva and Offerman’s dry-narrating O’Neill delivering sharp, timed comedy. Grey Henson steals scenes as the lovable, goofy Iceboy, while Sarah Stiles adds charm with a raunchy romance and a heartfelt ballad. Despite its laughs and strong performances, the show falters emotionally and narratively, feeling more like an extended sketch than a cohesive story — but Henson’s charm makes you wish the ice could thaw a little longer.
