Steppenwolf Presents Broadway's Brian D'Arcy James In December

Steppenwolf Theatre Company and Mark Cortale will present two lively musical performances with five-time Tony Award nominee and Northwestern alum Brian d'Arcy James with Music Director Dan Lipton.

James will perform songs from the classic American songbook, pop favorites and of course the Broadway canon, including signature songs he originated from shows such as Hamilton, Shrek the Musical, Wild Party and Days of Wine and Roses, to name a few. Not only will this Broadway vet perform the music you know and love, but you’ll also learn what these songs mean to him in an intimate and personal evening of story and song.

Taking place on Saturday, December 7, 2024 (3 pm & 7:30 pm) in Steppenwolf’s Downstairs Theater, 1650 N. Halsted St. in Chicago. Tickets ($75 – $115) are now on sale at steppenwolf.org/briandarcyjames or by calling the Box Office at (312) 335-1650.
