This award-winning show has played to sold-out crowds in the U.S. and in London, where it received 5-star reviews.

Chicago Theatre Workshop acts as an incubator for new works and is dedicated to the creation of theater that invigorates, inspires and challenges our perceptions of art and music. An intensively collaborative initiative, CTW melds the creative process with the audience experience. As our mission has stated from the beginning, we produce works where music plays a key element in the fabric of the production, but not just musicals.

CTW will announce its upcoming season on this special night which includes, the U.S. premiere of a new play co-produced with an award winning London theatre company, the Chicago premiere of a new musical from Broadway and a new solo performance piece.
