DIRTY DANCING – The Classic Story On Stage is playing at the Cadillac Palace Theatre (151 W. Randolph St.) through January 17, 2009. A coming of age love story, this show tells the story of a talented and headstrong dancer, Johnny Castle, and Frances “Baby” Houseman, a doctor’s daughter with dreams of joining the Peace Corps. The production is an extraordinary experience that explodes with heart-pounding music, spectacular emotion and sensationally sexy dancing.

The Chicago Company of Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, recently celebrated their first anniversary playing at the Bank of America Theatre (18 W. Monroe St.). This group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time, writing their own songs, inventing their own sounds and selling 175 million records worldwide – all before they were thirty.

Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years. The Chicago Company of WICKED will take its final bow on January 25, 2009 at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts, Oriental Theatre (24 W. Randolph St.) after more than three record-breaking years in Chicago.
