Chicago Theater Beat

@vanishedchicago @Chicago_History @PeteKastanes My first job after college was on at Rose Records on the 5th floor - classical and jazz.

Here is the price tag from Rose Records in Chicago!

@chi_geek I went to Zephyrs but now don’t remember where it was located. Let me know!

@TimeOutChicago The Zephyr and Rose Records

If you could bring back any #Chicago business from the dead, which one would you pick and why? 👀

What a weekend of theater in Chicago I've had! Although at opposite ends of the budget and scale spectrum, both "Fiddler on the Roof" @LyricOpera and "Sweeney Todd" @KokandyProds were both extraordinary. Now the task is write in such a way you will have to go to both.

@Eric_Erins I got shooed away from the front lawn of this apartment while walking my dog. The doorman said the residents would complain if they saw my dog pooping on their grass, despite seeing me pick it up. Weird….

My favorite apartment in the city is back on the market. There are only a handful of this tier with the two story living room. In a world where money is if no concern to me one of these bad boys on a higher floor is my white whale. realtor.com/realestateandh…

BREAKING: Donald Trump's personal library was destroyed in the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago. Both books are sadly beyond repair, and he hadn't even finished coloring one in yet.

@Eric_Erins Looks like you would have to walk through a bedroom to access any of the two bedrooms

My biggest fear came true. A banger in Kenwood hit the market after I’m fully committed to a place. redfin.com/IL/Chicago/494…

Chicago, northern lights and milky way from the ISS.

House Theatre of Chicago is closing after 21-year run chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…

@InPortCharles @EricAllixRogers Much of the library is not on landfill as it’s attached to the 90 year old Deering Library, where I was employed as a student. Though you may still want to believe this myth, Snopes is on to you. snopes.com/fact-check/sin…

@ChiTheaterBeat @EricAllixRogers It is on landfill. But please tell us more about what we witnessed first-hand…

@InPortCharles @EricAllixRogers That is an urban legend. Other university libraries have the same lore surrounding them - that the weight of books was not taken into account so building is sinking…

@EricAllixRogers If you listen carefully, you can almost hear the library gradually sinking into the landfill since full weight of books was miscalculated at construction…

If "Frozen" was set in Chicago...

Because in the 1980’s, every idea was a good idea.

Happy Thanksgiving! Throwback Thursday, Thanksgiving 1997 in Chicago. #tbt #chicago

39 years ago tonight, I made my Broadway debut in Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along. How is that possible? #yesterdayisdone

The Art on the Mart is up and running. A portion of the video display has a Christmas theme. This is from this evening. #chicago #news

Last night, I was shooting the Art on the Mart latest video display. Angel Colina captured this image of me in the act. That's 160 pounds of security in front of me. Angel labeled this "Pup-parazzi". #chicago
