 This production was nominated for Outstanding Production - Musical - Midsize by Chicago's Jeff Awards.Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune said, "So when I say that the newest production of the "Schooner" at the reborn Mercury Theater, is by far the best sung of that dozen I've seen, that's pretty much the whole deal.You may well have seen "Schooner" before, but you won't have heard it sung (or seen it acted) at this level.
