Chez Joey - Curtain at 7:30PM

If you missed the first Meetup to see Chez Joey at Arena Stage or just want to see it again, there will be another opportunity on Sunday, March 8 at 7:30PM.

I will be out of town that weekend, so folks will need to purchase tickets from Arena Stage or TodayTix. There's still very good availability for that performance, so folks can use the comment section to share their ticket location preferences to hopefully form a ticket block.

The year is 1940-something, and Chicago’s night scene is sizzling. Enter Joey Evans. A slick-talking, velvet-voiced songster with dreams bigger than the bandstand. But in a city where the right connections mean everything, he is caught between a bright-eyed chorus girl and a wealthy widow who can bankroll his big break—for a price. As the lights dim and the music swells, Joey’s got a choice to make: play it straight or risk it all for the spotlight. This classic Rodgers and Hart score, including “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered,” “What Is a Man?,” and “I Could Write a Book,” now includes “This Can’t Be Love” and “The Lady Is a Tramp,” among others. Co-directed by Tony Award-winning choreographer Savion Glover and actor, director, and producer Tony Goldwyn, the stakes are high, the music is hot, and the game of romance and ambition never sounded so good.
