Theatre help!
I will be in Chicago Easter week-end, Fri. thru Mon. Could anyone suggest any good theatre they have seen? Has anyone seen Over the River and Through the Woods or I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change?

How funny. Both these are by the same playwright. I Love You, You're Perfect. . . is a very funny and very clever musical -- more of a review of separate sketches, than an actual play or story line. Mainly about dating and marriage.
Over the River. . . is equally funny, but not a musical. It is the story of a young man who wants to move away from his two sets of New Jersey Italian grandparents for a job opening in Seattle. The grandparents do everything to keep him there -- including trying to find him a girl. Touching and warm as well as very funny. And all they do through the entire play is eat Italian Food. (eat first or you'll get hungry watching them).

Over the River... has posted a closing date of Feb. 29. A lot of shows here run only 3-4 weeks, so check those theatre listings in early March. Try

Over the River seems to be open ended, the theater's website says it is running through March 31 but Ticketmaster only has tickets listed through Feb 29. But it's possible that it will get extended through April so you might check back later.
Blue Man Group is another option.
Another good website for theater is www.chicagoplays.com, you can search by date.
You might also want to check out www.hottix.org, they often have 1/2 price same day tickets for a lot of the longer running shows.

Saw I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change in Chicago at the Royal George the last weekend in January. It's an excellent production and will still be playing Easter weekend. For other options, go to the theater link at www.metromix.chicagotribune.com
