In its first Chicago production since the Broadway tour, with a pop-rock score that features stirring ballads and rousing choral numbers, Elton John and Tim Rice's 'AIDA' is a contemporary musical take on a classic tale of the timeless bond between an enslaved Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier. As forbidden love blossoms between them, the young lovers are forced to face death or part forever. Bailiwick Chicago partners with the modern dance company Deeply Rooted Dance Theater to bring this re-envisioned and exhilarating production to Chicago audiences for a limited run.
