Experience World-Class Theater in Chicago This Fall

Many visitors to Chicago are unaware of its fantastic art scene. The theater district welcomes world-class off Broadway shows throughout the year. Past theater offerings have included Chicago and Mary Poppins. For the fall season, visitors have three fabulous show options to experience in Chicago.

The Addams Family

From a comic strip, to a television show, to the Broadway stage, The Addams Family is known as America’s creepiest and strangest family. The theater version features the outstanding talent of headline actors Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth as Gomez and Morticia, the leaders of this ghoul-some family. The play follows the trials and tribulations of the family as they react to Wednesday’s search for love. The Addams Family Musical was created by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elise, who also brought Jersey Boys to the stage.

Million Dollar Quartet

This musical is playing at the Apollo Theater in Chicago. The play retells the story of the night that four musical legends met: Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The impromptu recording session that night marked the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll. The play features many of the popular songs from these artists, including Blue Suede Shows, Great Balls of Fire, and more. Million Dollar Quartet is directed by Eric Schaeffer and Floyd Mutrux.

Jersey Boys

This show gained acclaim when it debuted in New York, and now it is one of the most popular shows in Chicago. The musical has won four Tony awards, including the honor of Best Musical. Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The play follows the group from their start as blue collar boys in Jersey to their rise to fame as the most popular musical group in the nation. Set in the turbulent 1950s, Jersey Boys features the classic songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. This show combines the best of the 50s and the classic music of the original Jersey Boys.
