If you happen to spot one, be sure to hold on to it in order to get an $8 discount on select tickets!

If you were at the annual Lights Festival or Thanksgiving Day Parade, there’s a good chance you saw folks wearing Million Dollar Quartet banner packs, and handing out flyers to people waiting patiently for the parade. That was us! We handed out thousands of flyers (that we printed in house!) which contained $8 off coupons for tickets. MDQ has been running strong for over a year now, and is about to make the jump to New York for a run on Broadway. We have been involved with the production from day one, and were happy to do a holiday push. If you haven’t checked it out, go and see the show that has become a musical sensation!
Million Dollar Quartet is at the Apollo Theater through January 3rd.

Like many I’ve spoken with recently, I had no idea who Florence Foster Jenkins was until a recent discussion on the hilarious Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. Since then, I’ve heard her name brought up more then once in recent conversations. Florence Foster Jenkins’ recent thrust in the spotlight makes me all the more excited to see Northlight Theatre’s latest production, Souvenir. This uproarious and musical story inspired by Florence Foster Jenkins the “Tone-Deaf Diva”: a New York socialite whose tin ear couldn’t keep her off the stage at Carnegie Hall. As seen through the eyes of her beloved accompanist, Souvenir is a touching and comic tribute to Ms. Jenkins’ sincerity, ambition, deep love of music and complete lack of talent, all of which brought a unique joy to thousands.
Souvenir is currently running and plays through December 20th. Tickets are available here and if tickets are purchased for performances prior to the 20th of November you’ll save $5.

We’re very excited to be working for the first time with Rosemont Theatre on the latest incarnation of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific as it makes it’s way to the Rosemont for a limited run. The Broadway classic, South Pacific tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples — US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush and French plantation owner Emile de Becque and Navy Airman Joe Cable and a young local native girl Liat — and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices.
Our services for Rosemont Theatre include poster and flyer distribution throughout the Loop and our North Shore retail locations. South Pacific is only in town for 8 shows starting November 24th and running through November 29th. Often lauded as the best musical ever written, this show is not to be missed!
Rosemont Theatre is located in well, Rosemont at 5400 North River Rd. Tickets can be purchased through ticketmaster.com or by calling 800.745.3000.
