HADESTOWN
JUNE 20-25, 2023
CIBC Theatre (18 W. Monroe St.)
HADESTOWN, winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best New Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, is an acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812). Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — HADESTOWN invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
Harper Lee’s TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
AUGUST 8-13, 2023
CIBC Theatre (18 W. Monroe St.)
Academy Award® winner Aaron Sorkin’s new play, directed by Tony Award® winner Bartlett Sher and based on Harper Lee’s classic novel will come back to Chicago as part of a multi-year national tour across North America. Set in Alabama in 1934, Harper Lee’s enduring story of racial injustice and childhood innocence centers on one of the most venerated characters in American literature, small-town lawyer, Atticus Finch. Richard Thomas, hailed by Chicago critics as “excellent” (Chicago Tribune), “extraordinary” (Chicago Sun-Times), “sheer perfection” (Around the Town Chicago), “inspiring” (BroadwayWorld) and “perfectly cast” (Northwest Herald), returns to play Atticus Finch.
