BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL
Now Playing at the Ford Center/Oriental Theatre (24 W. Randolph Street)
BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL is the joyous celebration of one boy's journey to make his dreams come true. Set in a small town, the story follows Billy as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class, discovering a passion that takes him by surprise, and takes his whole family on an incredibly uplifting adventure. Full of heart, humor and passion, Time Magazine named BILLY ELLIOT "Best Musical of the Decade," adding an incredible honor to its ten 2009 Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, as well as Best Musical awards from the NY Drama Critics Circle, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama.

Performances are as follows (see website for offer details):
Tuesdays at 7:30 PM
Wednesdays at 2 PM and 7:30 PM
Thursdays at 7:30 PM
Fridays at 8 PM
Saturdays at 2 PM and 8 PM
Sundays at 2 PM
FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP
Now Playing at the Auditorium Theatre Of Roosevelt University (50 E. Congress Parkway)
FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP is a non-stop collision of dynamic music, visceral emotion and kinetic aerial imagery that resembles nothing less than a fantastic mash-up between aerial theater and a late-night dance party. The historic Auditorium Theatre's stage and lobby are now transformed into an alternate universe, filled with flying performers, pumping beats, engaging dream sequences and a multidimensional swimming pool above the heads of the audience who stands on stage in the middle of the action.

Performances are as follows (see website for offer details):
Tuesdays at 7:30 PM
Wednesdays at 7:30 PM
Thursdays at 7:30 PM
Fridays at 7:30 PM and 10:00 PM
Saturdays at 7:30 PM and 10:00 PM
Sundays at 3:00 PM and 6:30 PM

THE 39 STEPS
Now playing through May 30 at the Bank of America Theatre (18 W. Monroe Street)
Seeking a frivolous night out at the theatre, Richard Hannay is lured into a world of intrigue by a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy. When she winds up dead in his flat, he flees London with the police hot on his trail. This is a classic portrayal of one man's flight from wrong accusation through a series of misadventures and old fashioned romance. THE 39 STEPS features a cast of four actors who, against all odds, breathlessly and hilariously attempt to reenact all of the characters, locations and famous scenes in Hitchcock's 1935 film thriller with just a few props and a lot of theatrical ingenuity and split second quick changes. Winner of several awards, including two Tony Awards®, THE 39 STEPS opened to deliriously ecstatic reviews and continues to entertain audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

Performances are as follows (see website for offer details):
Wednesday, May 26 at 7:30 PM
Thursday, May 27 at 7:30 PM
Friday, May 28 at 8 PM
Saturday, May 29 at 2 PM and 8 PM
Sunday, May 30 at 2 PM

Monroe St.); the Broadway In Chicago Ticket Line at (800) 775-2000; Ticketmaster retail locations (including Hot Tix and select Carson Pirie Scott, Coconuts and fye stores); and online at www.BroadwayInChicago.com.
