The Dinner Detective
Enjoy an evening of dining and mystery with this clever, interactive comedy. Taking place at the Hilton Garden Inn, The Dinner Detective performers are dressed like the guests, which means you won’t know who is in the show and who isn’t.
The detectives interrogate everyone and find clues as more people… die. At the end of the night, prizes are awarded to the Top Sleuth who solves the crime. If you ever wanted to tap your inner ‘Columbo,’ this is a fantastic opportunity! Each ticket includes a reception with appetizers, mixed green salad, choice of entree (fish, chicken or pasta), dessert, murder mystery show, prizes and so much more.
Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding
This exciting show at the Chicago Theater Works offers audiences a chance to attend an actual wedding in which there is a ceremony, reception, guests and lots of improvisation. At Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding, the fun begins with the happy couple’s wedding ceremony at Resurrection Church, followed by a reception featuring a full Italian dinner, wedding cake, champagne toast, dancing and plenty of laughter.
Since you are a wedding guest, you can interact with all the players – and that’s when things really start to get crazy. This is a great show that has charmed audiences for decades. No better time than a visit to Chicago to participate in this much-loved wedding event.
Blue Man Group

Disney’s Alladin
Playing now until September 10 at the Cadillac Palace Theatre, Aladdin, adapted from the 1992 Disney animated film, is brought to theatrical life in this bold new musical. The story sweeps audiences into an exotic world of daring adventure, classic comedy and timeless romance.
The musical is complemented by a lovely score by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice – featuring songs such as “Friend Like Me” and the Academy Award-winning “A Whole New World.” The new tour production features a full score, including five great songs from the Academy Award-winning soundtrack and more, written especially for the stage show.
