Kyle BallardJune 27, 2010If you are looking for a Broadway show in Chicago: one that is fun, hip, and suitable for young people especially, checkout Fuerza Bruta. You will not be disappointed. Wear clothes you can get wet :)

Kelly DrinkwineNovember 3, 2013While it's great being up close in the orch pits, beware of not-so-great acoustics since you're right next to the speakers!
Beautiful historic building, some of the best acoustics there as well. If you arrive early, cross Wabash and grab a Cuban coffee or sandwich at Cafecito.
It always nice to go their and see great Theatre! I always love it!
