MIRACLE, the hit Chicago musical set against the backdrop of the Chicago Cubs 2016 championship season, is excited to roll out a series of weekly programming for all ages to enjoy. These special events and offers will include a family four pack promotion available for $100 on Wednesday nights, Chicago Cubs Trivia Night on Thursday evenings complete with 'can't miss' prizes and "Flyball Fridays" resulting in one audience member receiving a signed baseball by a past or present Chicago Cubs player. Now playing at the Royal George Theatre (1641 N Halsted), MIRACLE is providing both Chicago visitors and locals alike with the perfect events and promotions to get into the true Cubs spirit.
Set against the backdrop of the Chicago Cubs 2016 Championship season, MIRACLE tells the story of a typical working class Chicago family and what it means to have faith, lose it and try to regain it again. The production chronicles the Chicago Cubs' struggle to win the pennant, as well as the life of the Delaneys, a close-knit Chicago Irish family fighting to keep their bar near Wrigley Field afloat financially. Throughout MIRACLE, the audience will journey through Pops Delaney's efforts to resolve conflicts with his son, Charlie, and Charlie's attempts to keep the business alive, as well as cheer along with Charlie's 11-year-old daughter Dani, who is completely enamored with the boys in blue, and his wife Sofia, a Chicago Public School teacher, who is the glue that keeps the family together.
