Chi, IL LIVE Shows On Our Radar

EMERALD CITY THEATRE ANNOUNCES


Here at ChiIL Mama, we have seen many variations on productions of School House Rock Live! over the years. It's a favorite of ours because I'm old enough to remember the original spots between Saturday morning cartoons. I grew up on the stuff and fondly introduced the stage version, CD and DVDs to my own kids. Tickets are now on sale for Broadway In Chicago and Emerald City Theatre's production, this summer. Book early! 


BASED ON THE CLASSIC ANIMATED SERIES

Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place
July 8 through August 28

Tickets On Sale NOW
Broadway In Chicago and Emerald City Theatre are pleased to announce that SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! will play the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place July 8 through August 28, 2016. Individual tickets for SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! go on sale on Friday, April 22.

Through unforgettable songs such as “Just a Bill” and “Conjunction Junction,” a nervous schoolteacher must discover how to charm his students through imagination and music on the first day of class. Based on the entertaining and educational Emmy Award-winning animated series, SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! brings the treasured Saturday-morning melodies of the ‘70s back in a hip new way. Children with recognition of educational subject matter and familiarity of the scholastic cartoon of the same name will enjoy this classic show, reimagined into an academic rock concert that features booming musical recordings and a funkadellic stage.
