“Choreography is critical for the success of Chicago. Brickner’s dance training and experience as a professional performer in New York City were evident throughout. The stage was filled with a sea of movement, reminiscent of the legendary Bob Fosse. The cast, especially the featured dancers, performed it flawlessly. With the cast performing complex dance steps, the volume of their singing never diminished.” (Steven Sheldon)

"From the suburbs of Papillion to the 24th floor of an apartment building just three blocks from Times Square, the Brickner family exchanged their Midwest lifestyle for the bustling streets of New York City. Burke Brickner, 13, has twirled across stages, sung for audiences, and made debuts on the big screen... Both of the Brickner boys have been in theater productions, television shows, movies, commercials, done voice-overs, and even dabbled in modeling.” (Ashley Quintela)
