DIE HARD Parody YIPPEE KI YAY is Coming to Chicago This Holiday Season

On the 36th anniversary of DIE HARD’s original release in theaters, Broadway In Chicago and James Seabright will present YIPPEE KI YAY, Richard Marsh’s acclaimed rhyming retelling of classic (festive?) film Die Hard for a strictly limited 4-week engagement at Broadway In Chicago’s Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. One of the Picks of the Fringe in The Stage and Recommended by The British Comedy Guide, this joyfully funny show is not to be missed. Group tickets for 10 or more are on sale now by calling Broadway In Chicago Group Sales at (312) 977-1710 or emailing GroupSales@BroadwayInChicago.com. Ticket information is below.

When gunmen seize an LA skyscraper, off-duty policeman John McClane is the hostages’ only hope. This uplifting action romp (and unauthorised parody) celebrates the iconic 80s festive favourite while also telling the personal story of a life-long Die Hard fan. Essential viewing for Hans Gruber connoisseurs and newcomers alike.

Content warning: divorce, foot trauma, German terrorists.
