For many, Burt Bacharach is a household name, the soundtrack that spans from childhood to adulthood. For some, Bacharach’s name might not ring a bell, but his wide discography of songs that spans decades, mediums, collaborators, and genres is sure to have even the most musically naive audience members dancing in their seats to some familiar favorites.
GOING BACHARACH: THE SONGS OF AN ICON will run at Chicago’s Apollo Theater with the original New York cast. The musical revue celebrates the work of Burt Bacharach with songs including “Alfie” and “What the World Needs Now.”
Check out opening night photos from the world premiere of GOING BACHARACH: THE SONGS OF AN ICON, now playing at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater.

Complete with a seven piece orchestra, superb arrangements by Tedd Firth, and mostly top notch technical elements, this show does a lot to teach us all about a forgotten generation of military and the time period in general.
