PARANORMAL ACTIVITY at @chicagoshakes.bsky.social 🎭👻This spectacularly spooky show is one you have to see to believe. The cast, set, lighting, sound, and illusions all work together beautifully to tell a compelling haunting tale. Fans of a scary story, you do not want to miss it! See it thru Nov 2.

JEKYLL & HYDE @ Kokandy

Loved this fresh, frightening take on the gothic horror musical. With a surgical theater for a set and an orchestra that looks ready to scrub in, the stage is set from the moment you walk in. Definitely see it if you can. Catch it thru Dec 21.

REVOLUTION(S) at the Goodman 🔥🎭 This new musical spans decades and genres. Effortlessly blending punk rock, hip-hop, and heavy metal into a story that follows one family, in the late 80s and the mid 2010s. Exploring how inherited violence and hope can light the match of revolt and create change.

AVA: THE SECRET CONVERSATIONS at the Studebaker Theater 🎥🌟🎭This glimpse into the life of Ava Gardner is a fascinating look at the world of a Hollywood starlet, the nature of celebrity, and how women’s stories are told. This new play is worth seeing if you can. See it in Chicago through Oct 12.

ROME SWEET ROME at @chicagoshakes.bsky.social 🥖🏛️🎭
Had an absolute blast in Rome last night. The Q Brothers’ take on Shakespeare’s JULIUS CAESAR meets this moment perfectly with wit, carbs, and some sobering silliness. Catch it through October 19.

MR. WOLF at @steppenwolfthtr.bsky.social 🌌🎭This play surprised me. It covers dark territory with the story of a kidnapped girl at its core. Yet, I found myself chuckling more than a few times and left the theater feeling hopeful. It’s a nice reminder of humanity’s resilience. See it through Nov 2.

ASHLAND AVENUE at the Goodman Theatre 🏙️🎭This drama unfolds in a Chicago, family-owned TV shop that seems frozen in a bygone era. This new play starring the city that built the Goodman feels like the perfect start to their 100th season. Catch it through October 12.

Opening night of 44 THE MUSICAL at the Studebaker 🇺🇸🎶🎭 Oh-my-bama this was a fun show. Told through the hazy lens of Joe Biden’s memory, this musical blends silliness, sincerity, and sensational vocals to tell the story of the Obama presidency. It is the perfect escape for this moment. #theater

AUSTEN’S PRIDE at Stages ✍️📚🎶🎭
Lucky enough to catch one of the final performances of this charming new musical. A sweet, funny, and fascinating journey through PRIDE&PREJUDICE and a writer’s process. Can’t wait to see what’s next for this new work. #PrideandPrejudice #theatre #photography #stlouis

Last night at The Muny 🎶🎭 These Jersey Boys are not to be missed. This production of this beloved bio musical blurs the line between the past and present. I don’t think I’ve witnessed an audience get pulled into a show like I did last night. It was pure magic. Catch it through Sunday. #theater
