Charlie Sheen finds #winning formula in Chicago Was Saturday night some crazy bad dream? Because the Charlie Sheen show I saw at the Chicago Theater on Sunday night bore absolutely no resemblance to whatever it was the Detroit crowd and I think we witnessed on Saturday.
The entire nonsensical, rambling, random multi-media production? Scrapped.
In its place: A live 90-minute talk show, with Charlie as the guest.
From the start it was obvious a whole new show was planned.
Gone was the sadly unfunny comedian warming up the crowd. Instead, a guy who never introduced himself to the audience was on stage at about 8:15 p.m. to introduce Charlie to Chicago. (I happened to recognize him since I interviewed him the day before in Detroit - Charlie's tour promoter from Live Nation, Joey Scoleri).
The crowd gave the headliner a standing ovation.
Charlie replied, "Wow.... wow," inserting one of his trademark expletives.

Charlie and the still-unknown-to-audience "other guy" (Scoleri) sat down in two chairs on a spartan stage, with the audience still standing and cheering, then chanting "Detroit sucks! Detroit sucks!"
