Yesterday will be counted as one of the most exciting days at Broadway In Chicago. There was electricity in the air. The Broadway In Chicago team, the producers from Working Title Films – Eric Fellner and Jon Finn – and none other than SIR ELTON JOHN greeted a select group of media at Wrigley Field to announce:
BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL
COMING TO CHICAGO MARCH 2010 FOR AN EXTENDED RUN!!!!!
This is a show that the entire Broadway In Chicago team has been fighting to have first and to have a long run based on our audience demand and the brilliance of the show AND WE GOT IT!!!
If you have seen this show in London or New York, you know how wonderful it is, and if you haven’t seen it you are in for one of the most moving experiences in the theatre.
Just some of the press on the announcement:
