A resounding standing ovation for all who made
#SIXChicago
so magical! From our crew and front of house team, to our stellar cast of Queens... every person who touched this production is “one of a kind, no category.”
“White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities...”
Our unending gratitude to the life and artistry of the one, the only, Stephen Sondheim. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Tom Hiddleston, Loki in "Avengers," talks Shakespeare: “This is so important...for people because at school it seems dusty and stuffy and scary…and it’s not that at all. It’s alive, it’s vital and its electrifying and it’s present and it’s for everyone"
Bowing down to two of our original
#SIXChicago
Queens, Adrianna and Abby, who will be taking their final
