Chicago Tap Theatre (CTT) is proud to present the world premiere production of TightWire, written by Marc Kelly Smith and original music by CTT Music Director Kurt Schweitz, playing at Stage 773, 1225 W. Belmont, March 20 - 29. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the production below!

Chicago Tap Theatre takes a dark and sinister turn in its latest story show, TightWire, an exploration of the behind-the-scenes happenings and relationships of a traveling Italian circus troupe in the 1930s. Clowns, animal trainers, tightrope walkers, jealous sisters, the taciturn ringmaster and a mysterious vagabond clown, whose shrouded past threatens to catch up with him, greet the audience with their tales of jealousy, heartache and suspicion in a unique experience featuring CTT's fusion of tap and live music.

The cast of TightWire is comprised of Marc Kelly Smith, Mark Yonally, Jennifer Pfaff Yonally, Rich Ashworth and Kirsten Uttich as well as the ensemble dancers of Chicago Tap Theatre and the live musicians.

Regular performance times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. There will be an additional show Saturday, March 28 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $35 for adults, $27 for seniors, $22 for students and dancers and group discounts are available. Tickets available at Stage773.com or 773.327.5252. For more information go to www.chicagotaptheatre.com or call the Chicago Tap Theatre office at 773.655.1175.
