Director E. Faye Butler and her stellar Drury Lane team infuse Chicagoland with the resurrection of the iconic Fats Waller, talents left behind but not forgotten, and the undeniable vibe that adds some honeyed sweetness to summer’s heat.

A double feature of some of the most colorful talkers ever conceived for Broadway.

The Flying Dutchman at Lyric Opera of Chicago; Run Bambi Run at Milwaukee Rep; and Ring of Fire at Drury Lane Oakbrook.

Rock (‘n’ roll) is here to stay in Chicagoland this spring.

With a knock-out triple-threat ensemble, Drury Lane’s production lives up to the musical’s award-laden legend.
