Steppenwolf's real domain as a powerhouse basically ended around the mid-1990s. They have had occasional hits since then, but one expects more from a company with a reputation like theirs. It is my opinion that Steppenwolf Theatre is past its prime. Tickets are too expensive there to waste the money on a play that is completely untested or an old retread. If you want a great look into what Steppenwolf probably was like in its prime, try Lookingglass.
Pros: Parking is pretty easy.
Cons: Pay through the nose for reputation only
