What to See During Chicago Theater Week 2019

Chicago Theater Week 2019

Tickets for Chicago Theater Week 2019 are on sale now and going fast!

Chicago has incredible talent and some spectacular venues. From intimate venues like Windy City Playhouse to grand theaters such as the Auditorium Theatre at Roosevelt University, Chicago offers more than 200 theaters across the city. Chicago Theater Week is a great time to see some incredible shows at a major discount.

In this post, I'm sharing the deets on CTW and which shows I have my eye on.

What is Chicago Theater Week?

It’s your chance to see more some of the best shows in Chicago at a fraction of the usual ticket price!

More than 100 theater productions at some of the best venues in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are participating in this annual celebration of theater. The event is in its seventh year and typically includes Tony-Award-winning stages, comedy clubs like The Second City, and downtown theaters such as the Goodman Theater.

Chicago Theater Week Dates

Chicago Theater Week runs February 7-17, 2019. 

How Much are Tickets for Chicago Theater Week 2019 Shows?

The discounted tickets cost $15 or $30. That’s a great price considering some tickets for performances like The Joffrey Ballet usually sell for more than $100! Tickets are on sale now. 

Where to Get Tickets to Chicago Theater Week

First come first served. Discounted tickets to popular shows like Southern Gothic (see my review) are already selling out, so get your tickets ASAP. Search for shows and buy tickets at ChicagoTheaterWeek.com.

My Picks for Chicago Theater Week

I already bought tickets to "Anna Karenina," and hope to at least see one other show. Check out my top three picks below.

Chicago Theater Week 2019 Anna Karenina Ballet

1. Anna Karenina at the Auditorium Theater (Loop)

A collaboration between The Joffrey Ballet and the Australian Ballet. The world premiere of “Anna Karenina” tells a challenging love story set in 19th century Russia with music by award-winning composer Illya Demustky. Use promo code CTW19 for Chicago Theater Week pricing.

 

Chicago Theater Week 2019 Noises Off

2. Noises Off (Irving Park)

This comedy is about an amateur theater troupe trying to pull off a performance -- and it’s off to a comically bad start. The show is performed at Windy City Playhouse and the audience is invited to move throughout the play to experience to show up close.

 

Chicago Theater Week 2019 Friends the Musical Parody

3. Friends! the Musical Parody (Streeterville)

Fans of the popular sitcom get to go back to Central Perk and laugh at some of the best moments of the show. This comedic musical pokes a little fun at the decade-long running show. I’m hoping Marcel the monkey makes an appearance!

I hope you snag tickets to the shows you'd like to see. It's an awesome time to enjoy the city's theater scene!

Chicago museums are starting to reopen as we enter Chicago museums are starting to reopen as we enter stage four! 🙌 This photo was taken at @msichicago not long before lockdown. I was so happy to show Theo some of Chicago’s gems! 💎 Personally, I won’t be rushing back to anything indoors, but I’m glad to see things reopening and hope it can be done safely. By the way, @msichicago is expected to reopen this summer and you can get tickets now for @shedd_aquarium and @lincolnparkzoo. 🦥 What will you do now that we’re in stage four?

Millennium Park is open again and today I stopped Millennium Park is open again and today I stopped by between doctor appointments (which I had been putting off!).You are supposed to wear masks in the park but there’s basically no one here so I found this spot to enjoy a quick lunch by myself. Today is the first time I left my baby with a sitter and the longest time I have been away from him. 😭 He is in good hands though. Poor guy hardly knows anyone but Kam and me. We kept him to ourselves the first 8 weeks of his life because we were scared of the flu. Then as soon as we felt ready to share him, Coronavirus hit! 🤦‍♀️
Happy Loving Day! 💙 Only 53 years ago the Supre Happy Loving Day! 💙 Only 53 years ago the Supreme Court struck down bans on interracial marriage. The case involved Mildred and Richard Loving who were arrested in Virginia for their interracial marriage. This case is a reason so many mixed-race families exist today. 💙 #lovingday #lovingday2020 📸: @fabiolacaravaphotography
