Great Broadway shows return to Chicago theaters

CHICAGO -- Broadway in Chicago just recently announced three great shows coming to Chicago!

RIVERDANCE! In April 2016, Riverdance celebrates its 20th anniversary with a world tour and a stop in Chicago at The Cadillac Palace Theatre, April 5-10, 2016. Such a fun show for the entire family and watching those dancers perform in perfect unison is incredible.

CHICAGO! Coming in May 2016 is the Broadway musical set in and named after our great city, "Chicago." It plays the Cadillac Palace Theatre May 10-15, 2016. "Chicago" is set in the 1920's and focuses on Roxie Hart as she goes on trial for killing her lover! Without a doubt, "Cell Block Tango" is my favorite number. The show is filled with great songs and dance, but is probably more suited for teens and adults.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! Arriving just a few weeks later is the return of Disney's "Beauty & The Beast." It also comes to the Cadillac Palace Theatre, May 24-29, 2016. This is Disney's first Broadway production and the tale as old as time has stood the test of time. Perfect for adults and children alike, but get your tickets early. The show sold out last time it was here.

CHER ON BROADWAY! COMING SOON! Back in 2012, the singer said she wanted to make a musical of her life. Just days ago she Tweeted that she is working with the writer of "Jersey Boys." THAT will be a must-see show. Let's hope she does her pre-Broadway run in Chicago.

And finally, I was in New York over the weekend for work, but got a little play time in, too. I nabbed myself a ticket to see "The Gin Game" starring James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson. Simply fantastic. It's only playing through January 10, 2016, so if you will be in NYC this holiday season, it's certainly a show you should check out!
