"Ernest Shackleton Loves Me" Comes to Chicago for a Limited Engagement
Sail away and join award-winning Porchlight Music Theatre for a new romantic musical journey! "Ernest Shackleton Loves Me" is the critically acclaimed comedy with a tongue-in-cheek script by Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro (Diana, Memphis, All Shook Up). In this wildly inventive and romantic adventure, directed by Michael Unger and music directed by Eric Svejcar, a sleep-deprived single mom (Elisa Carlson) who makes her living as a video game music composer is contacted across space and time, via a crossed connection on her cell phone, by the famous early 20th century polar explorer Ernest Shackleton (Andrew Mueller) while he is stranded on an iceberg in the Antarctic in the early 1900s.
Inspired by her music, he shares his epic journey with her and, together, they overcome the odds in a timeless, and very funny, musical romance for the ages. In 2017, "Ernest Shackleton Loves Me" was named the Best New Musical by the Off Broadway Alliance.
