Broadway In Chicago has announced that its free SUMMER CONCERT will return to Millennium Park this August for the first time since 2019. The FREE BROADWAY IN CHICAGO SUMMER CONCERT, sponsored by ABC 7 Chicago, will take place on Monday, August 15, 2022 at 6:15 pm at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park (201 E Randolph St). The Broadway In Chicago Summer Concert at Millennium Park is presented with the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.

Several shows will be performing including Disney's The Lion King, Dear Evan Hansen, Wicked, and straight from Broadway, MJ, the brand new 4-time Tony Award-winning musical that offers a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit of Michael Jackson. Additional shows will be announced at a later date.

Enthusiastic theater fans can look forward to seeing performances from our spectacular lineup of upcoming shows. Mark your calendars - this is a night you do not want to miss," said Eileen LaCario, Vice President of Broadway In Chicago.
