I LOVE LUCY: LIVE ON STAGE Cast Performs at Ed Debevic's Today
I LOVE LUCY LIVE ON STAGE stars Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, joined by Fred and Ethel Mertz (played by Sirena Irwin, Bill Mendieta and Chicago locals Curtis Pettyjohn and JoAnna Daniels), will make a special guest appearance and perform classic hits from "I Love Lucy" at Ed Debevic's (640 N. Wells St., Chicago), on Valentine's Day, today, February 14, 2013 at 12:30 p.m. In honor of this special cast appearance, Ed Debevic's will offer a Valentine's Day lovebird special for two: two hamburgers, one strawberry milkshake with two straws, and Mitchell's hand made chocolate candies, $19.99.
Imagine stepping back in time and into the Desilu Playhouse soundstage! It's 1952 and you are a member of the studio audience awaiting the filming of two hilarious and oh so familiar "I Love Lucy" episodes. A charming host entertains and enlightens you to the behind-the-scenes filming process, the 1950's hi-fidelity technology, and this brand new thing called 'television'. The episodes begin and you witness, firsthand, the side-splitting antics of that crazy redhead in the Ricardo's New York apartment and thrill to the Cuban sounds of "The Ricky Ricardo Orchestra" at the famed Tropicana Nightclub. In between scenes? The Crystaltone Singers perform live advertising jingles of the show's newest sponsors in perfect 50s style harmony. Can you say 'Brylcreem'?!
The iconic television hit sitcom "I Love Lucy" was most recently honored in September 2012 as the "Best TV Show Of All Time" and the "Greatest TV Comedy" by People Magazine and ABC's "20/20" special "Best in TV: The Greatest TV Shows of Our Time." I LOVE LUCY LIVE ON STAGE is produced under license from CBS Consumer Products.
