On the Stage

Going to try to go see Little Shop of Horrors while it's in Chicago as well! It is only playing through Sunday, so we're going to try and hit up a matinee of it on Saturday, or Saturday night if we can't get lotto tickets to Wicked. It is playing in the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University pictured here to the right.

We are also going to try and see Lion King while it's there in Chicago. It is running for quite a while so we have 2 shows on Saturday and 2 shows on Sunday to try and catch it. It is playing at Cadillac Palace Theatre which is here.

Then Wicked, which we ARE for sure going to once and try to go see Saturday night as well is playing at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts, Oriental Theatre which is here.

All the theatres are so beautiful and all the shows are so good! We'd also like to hit up the Shedd Aquarium and also the Art Institute of Chicago

And then Saturday night we are staying at Club Quarters Chicago Wacker at Michigan

The greatest thing about all this is that all these theatres and all these attractions we're going to try to go to are all within walking distance from our hotel! I think we're going to have quite the weekend and I'm very pumped about it! We're getting up at 5 am tomorrow morning to start driving at 6 am to Chicago and we should get there around noon or 1 and the first extra show (Little Shop or Lion King) we're going to try to see would start their matinee at 2 pm so we'd better be prepared! Then we want to squeeze in the aquarium and art institute either saturday or Sunday after Wicked. Then Saturday evening is a slot open to try and see Wicked again playing the lotto system (put name in drawing for about 20 of the first couple row seats for $25) and if that doesn't work we'll shoot over to catch Little Shop or Lion King, depending on which one we didn't see for matinee! Then stay at the hotel that night (bow-chicak-bowwow) and then wake up, check out and go see Wicked. Maybe go see somethign else afterwards but more than likely head home since we wont be leaving the theatre till around 5:30 (after stopping at the stage door to meet and get autographs with the cast and especially meet Ana Gasteyer!)

Whew! Good thing I have Monday off.
