Review: Ricardo Rosenkranz is a Chicago neonatologist with a passion for magic. He’s also the relatively new owner of the beautiful 1912 theater in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood.

He has no comedy patter — beyond saying that, as a doctor, he was tempted to make the audience wait 15 minutes to see him — and he saws no one in half. Nor does he embarrass volunteers. Rather, his boutique show focuses on the relationship between magic and healing.

His pieces not only have intellectual and philosophical underpinnings but are designed to end with solutions: an audience member gets to solve a Rubik’s Cube, something broken is made whole, and a worry is assuaged. This current stand at the Rhapsody is not his first show;But Rosenkranz now has control over his physical surroundings and he is better able to exploit the retro elegance of this venue.

It’s that kind of show: smart, moving and refined. A thinking person’s night out, you might say. With bespoke cocktails.Where: Rhapsody Theatre, 1328 W. Morse Ave.
