Broadway in Chicago is bringing back the musical named after this town. “Chicago” will be in town for one week only at the Ford Center/Oriental Theatre. The story of a couple of women finding fame through murder, the fifth-longest running production in Broadway history, the recipient of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards and a Grammy is an exciting romp. Starring John O’Hurley as Billy Flynn, purchase your tickets right away because these shows will sell out.

The direction team has been distributing Broadway in Chicago posters throughout the north side of Chicago and the north shore suburbs.

Broadway in Chicago brings “Chicago” to the Ford Center/Oriental Theatre June 7 to June 12. For tickets, showtimes and information about other Broadway in Chicago shows, please visit broadwayinchicago.com.

The winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, the Broadway sensation “Spring Awakening” is headed back to Chicago. The story of two males going from adolescence to adulthood, the production is about rebellion, morality and sexuality. Set in 1890′s Germany, the production is based on a controversial play involving homosexuality, S and M, loss of virginity and suicide. It’s not a shock the musical helped make “Glee’s” Lea Michele a star.

Direction has been hitting the streets of Chicago with posters and handbills for this Broadway in Chicago presentation.

“Spring Awakening” will be at the Ford Center/Oriental Theatre from May 3 to 8. Tickets for this much too short run will sell out so act now. Please visit broadwayinchicago.com for tickets, show times and more.

The winner of the 2009 Tony for Best Musical Revival, “HAIR” is currently at the Ford Center/Oriental Theatre for a much too short, two week run.

The rock musical still features the songs that have become classics, such as “Aquarius,” “Let the Sun Shine In,” “Good Morning, Starshine” and “Easy To Be Hard.”

The direction team has gotten the word out for “HAIR” throughout the more musical friendly neighborhoods of Chicago.

“HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical” runs until March 20 at the Ford Center/Oriental Theatre. Please visit broadwayinchicago.com for tickets and more information.

Direct from Broadway, Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles will be at the Oriental Theatre for one week this February. The Washing Times has said, “The individual members of Rain are perfecting the posture, physical characteristics, facial and voice inflections of their namesake. The signature harmonies are truly spot on. The costuming is meticulous.” The Dallas Morning News has said “This is homage at its highest level, both in terms of adoration and execution.” If you’re a casual fan of the Fab Four or a full-out Beatlemaniac, this show is for you.

Direction has been hanging posters around Chicago for this Broadway in Chicago production.

Rain plays February 8 to 13 at the Ford Center/Oriental Theatre in the Loop. Please visit broadwayinchicago.com for tickets and more.
