The Mercury Theatre 3745 N. Southport Avenue, Chicago
As famed escape artist Harry Houdini circles the globe performing one incredible stunt after another, Victor, a young devotee goes through his own rigorous magician’s training – locking himself in closets, holding his breath under water and walking into walls. After a chance encounter with his hero, Victor receives a special box that just might contain the secrets of Houdini’s great success.
NOTHING CAN CONTAIN THE CREATIVITY OF DIRECTOR BLAIR THOMAS, BOOK/LYRICIST HANNAH KOHL, AND COMPOSER MARK "MUCCA PAZZA" MESSING AS THEY PREPARE TO UNCHAIN CCT'S NEWEST STAGE ADVENTURE THE HOUDINI BOX ALREADY SET TO ESCAPE TO THE NORTH SHORE CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS IN SKOKIE SOON AFTER ITS CHICAGO RUN, MAR. 14-25, 2012
If you're a fan of children's literature but not already familiar with children's author and illustrator Brian Selznick, all of that is about to change.
Selznick's 2008 Caldecott Award-winning book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, debuted last November as Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese's first 3D family film Hugo, and was just nominated for 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture.
Meanwhile, Selznick's newest children's graphic novel, Wonderstruck, was recently published by Scholastic Books to rave reviews.
And now, the Brian Selznick trifecta continues right here in Chicago when Chicago Children's Theatre unleashes The Houdini Box, a world premiere musical adventure based on Selznick's popular first novel about a mischievous boy who receives a special box that just might contain the secrets of Harry Houdini's success.
Master puppeteer Blair Thomas will direct and create sets and puppets for CCT's The Houdini Box, already a recipient of two prestigious development grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Book and lyrics are by Hannah Kohl, with original music by Mark Messing, music director of Chicago's #1 circus punk marching band Mucca Pazza.
Performances of Chicago Children's Theatre's The Houdini Box are Jan. 24-Mar. 4, 2012 at the Mercury Theater, 3745 N. Southport Avenue, Chicago. Note: Subsequent Friday 7 pm performances on Feb. 3, Feb. 10 and Feb. 24 will be an expanded "An Evening of Magic," including the show followed by award-winning magician Brett Schneider performing amazing feats of magic and illusion. Tickets to all performances are $15-$36. For tickets and information, go to chicagochildrenstheatre.org or call the Mercury Theater box office, 773.325.1700.

1 (18+) pair of tickets to the final Monday of Clip Art's residency at Schubas. Last night, we had a Lara Miller fashion press event, then we hit Empty Bottle to see Otter Petter, Mutts, Pinto & The Bean, & Wally Dogger.
However, our ticket winners told us Clip Art put on a phenomenal show.
She said, "Andy did a killer, acapella version of the Tom Waits song, "I'll Be Gone" from Frank's Wild Years. It was fantastic! The also covered The Kinks and The Shins. Tina Howe sat in on a couple of songs, as did Jessie from JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound and Cosmos."
