Avenue Q is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is Avenue Q; still, the neighbors seem nice. There’s Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fianceé Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his roommate Rod – a Republican investment banker who seems to have some sort of secret; an Internet addict called Trekkie Monster; and a very cute kindergarten teaching assistant named Kate. And would you believe the building’s superintendent is Gary Coleman?!? (Yes, that Gary Coleman.) Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Featured Event :  Sesame Street Live! "Elmo's Green Thumb"

Elmo has raised his sunflower, Sunny, from a seed, but the floral friend has outgrown his flower pot. Elmo and friends find Big Bird's garden the ideal place for Sunny to flourish and grow, but they are too excited to wait. Rather than let Sunny follow nature's course, Abby Cadabby, Sesame Street's fairy-in-training, casts a spell to make him grow. The spell does just the opposite & instead of growing, Elmo and all of his friends shrink! While Abby searches for just the right words to reverse the spell, Elmo, Zoe, Telly & friends explore Big Bird's garden from a smaller perspective & learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and appreciating the role that each creature plays in our ecosystem - from dancing ladybugs and beautiful butterflies to grouchy beetles that scavenge the garden floor. It's a fresh, original Sesame Street Live show on a whole new scale!

If you missed out on tickets for Kathy's sold-out October 15th show, now's your chance to get tickets to the recently added October 16th show! Emmy® winning Chicago native Kathy Griffin has added a 2nd show at The Chicago Theatre and the presale starts tomorrow.

After moving west and joining the famed Los Angeles Groundlings comedy improvisational troupe, Kathy began building her resume with guest starring roles on such series as ER and Seinfeld — where she created recurring character Sally Weaver. After her various TV guest spots, Kathy began gaining notice as a stand-up comedienne and in 1998, HBO gave Kathy her own one-hour special, A Hot Cup of Talk.

Kathy has co-hosted The Billboard Music Awards three years in a row and appeared on numerous talk shows including Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Howard Stern and The View, as well as having been featured in the films It's Pat and Four Rooms, among others.

In August 2005 Kathy's reality show, Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List, debuted on Bravo to rave reviews. The first two seasons of My Life On The D-List were nominated for an Emmy® for Outstanding Reality Program. In this case, two was a charm, as season two won that prize in September, 2007.

In the course of Chris Isaak’s career, he has been nominated for two Grammy® Awards and has released nine multi-platinum albums that showcase his stellar songwriting (Wicked Game, Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing, Two Hearts).  To what does he attribute the longevity of his career?  “You know, I try to do what feels right for each song.  So I never have to go, ‘Well, no more disco for me.’”   When Lisa Loeb’s breakout song Stay (I Missed You) landed at #1 on the charts in 1994, it was an unparalleled feat for an unsigned artist.  That it still resonates with people today is a testament to Loeb’s gift as a songwriter and storyteller.

Joe Satriani
The Chicago Theatre • October 8
PRESALE: Thur., 6/26 at 10AM to Thur., 7/10 at 10PM

USE CODE: HCJOE

Along with teaching some of the top rock guitar players of the '80s and '90s, Joe Satriani is one of the most technically accomplished and widely respected guitarists to emerge in recent times. A young Satriani was inspired by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, and picked up the guitar at the age of 14. Quickly learning the instrument, Satriani began teaching guitar to others and found a kindred spirit in one of his students, Steve Vai. By the late '70s, Satriani had relocated to Berkeley, CA and had his sights set on his own musical career. He kept teaching others, including such future rock notables as Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde (Primus) and jazz fusion player Charlie Hunter, all while focusing also on his solo career.

Fast forward a few decades - the New York native now boasts over 12 albums to his name and a staggering 13 Grammy® nominations to go along with them.

His records have sold over 7 million copies worldwide. In fact, his sophomore effort Surfing With the Alien became the first instrumental guitar album to crack the Top 40 charts.

Known for "dead on" impressions of iconic figures such as Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Robert DeNiro, George W. Bush and John Madden – Frank Caliendo, a 7 year veteran of television sketch comedy (MadTV, Hype) began his own show - "Frank TV". Frank describes the show, which debuted last fall on the TBS network, as The Muppets meets SCTV, meets Saturday Night Live, meets the Simpsons.

On the Stage, Frank's high energy act is a blend of observations, impressions, characters and anecdotal stories that build to a frenetic pace. Once described by the "Hollywood Reporter" as "a combination of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey" Frank is one comedian that should not be missed.

Other places you might have seen Frank: "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson", "Jimmy Kimmel Live", "Conan O'Brien", "The View", "Last Call with Carson Daly", Superbowl XXXIX, "Comedy Central Presents Frank Caliendo", "The Best Damn Sports Show Period", and "Mike and Mike" on ESPN 2.

Yaz — Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet — have announced that they will reunite for the first time in over 25 years for Reconnected, a U.S. tour with a stop at The Chicago Theatre on July 14th.

The joyous, unlikely coming together of Vince Clarke, who had just left Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet lasted for only two albums, saw them performing only 24 concerts worldwide, but left an indelible mark on pop.

Yaz released Upstairs At Eric's in July 1982 then parted company just 12 months later on release of the second album You And Me Both, which reached Number 1 in the UK.

Vince and Alison have since gone on to have their own successful careers, Vince with Erasure and Alison as a solo performer, both releasing Top 30 critically acclaimed hit albums in 2007 — Erasure with Light At The End Of The World and Alison Moyet with The Turn.

The Reconnected Tour will also see Yaz perform material from You And Me Both for the very first time as well as pop classics "Only You" and "Don't Go."

One of the most enduring and original musical partnerships of our time, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) have captivated the world with their peerless three-part harmony vocals, inspired songwriting and brilliant musicianship for over three decades.

The only American band of the original Woodstock era to have a societal impact rivaling that of the Beatles, they have been called “the voice of an entire generation.” With an impassioned point of view as personal as it is message-oriented, CSN have always sung about socially relevant issues and universal values. Their songs have chronicled our times and touched the lives of millions of fans of all ages through timeless hits including “Marrakesh Express,” “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” “Helplessly Hoping,” “Guinnevere,” “Teach Your Children,” “Wooden Ships,” “Dark Star,” and “Just A Song Before I Go,” to name just a few.

Emmy® winning Chicago native Kathy Griffin, a multi-faceted performer with a rapid fire wit, is coming to The Chicago Theatre on October 15th!o
After moving west and joining the famed Los Angeles Groundlings comedy improvisational troupe, Kathy began building her resume with guest starring roles on such series as ER and Seinfeld — where she created recurring character Sally Weaver.
