Withholding judgment re: lighting, etc. Studios' marketing folk are notorious about kicking up brightness and reducing frame rate for scenes in trailers (and worse) TV ads. The shots go by so quickly they don't want audience's eyes hunting for detail in dark or shaded areas. MANY times I've thought something looked over-lit or cheap only to find it pleasing in the theater or on Bluray/4K.
The beautiful Auditorium Theatre in Chicago has often been used for sit-down productions and tours. It has 3901 seats. These days, Broadway in Chicago uses their other venues more often than this one (which is owned by Roosevelt University.)
"PS -- What do people think of its disappointing grosses. It has only grossed $150MM and is quickly winding down. Since it cost almost that much to make, unless it does well overseas, I imagine that Disney could be taking a loss, which must be shocking to them."
It should hit $300m internationally in the next few days, so I don't think they're TOO upset. With a cost of $130m (plus marketing etc. obviously), it'll probably be a break-even and
Curious about this one too... Have seen two thoroughly mediocre shows at Alliance (Tuck Everlasting & The Prom), but have always wanted to see Cyclone.

Reminded me of a 90s Bailiwick, etc. (Chicago) production; the nudity was the only saving grace. (Which isnt exactly high praise.).If Pride Plays... is at the (former?) Theater Building on Belmont, itll fit right in.
Looked up the ATL show (closest to me) on Ticketmaster, and it seems to be about 98-99% sold out.

Hadestown has NO Sunday performances the first few weeks, and then just has Sun afternoon shows the rest of the time. The lone Sunday eve performance is 4/21 (sadly the week before I’m there)
Not sure when in April you are going, but there is a 7pm performance on April 21. All other Sunday performances are matinees. I'll miss that Sunday evening by a week, so I'll have to do the following Saturday matinee.
