“Mamma Mia”

It’s back! The incredibly popular jukebox musical, Mamma Mia brings it’s 25th Anniversary tour to Chicago’s Nederlander Theatre ONLY through May 19th! Enjoy a conversation with the production stars: Chicago native Christine Sherrill (who plays Donna Sheridan) and Jalynn Steele (playing her friend Tanya) who chat about the plot of the show and why the music of ABBA has remained so popular for so many years. Are the audiences changing? Is the message the same? All of that and more in this fun and lively conversation ….and see my review of the show under the theater review section!

Paul chats with Magician and Card Cheating expert Harry Milas who discusses his amazing show playing through May 19th at Steppenwolf’s Merle Reskin Garage Space. Milas brings his highly acclaimed show from Australia for this U.S. debut. “The Unfair Advantage” discloses the sleight of hand techniques utilized by those who cheat at cards. The hour-long show is a fascinating look at deception in a world that few ever experience. Presented in an intimate space with only 35 attendees, Harry reveals the secrets behind his skills…the question is: Can you actually do what he does?? Plays thru May 19th.
