The Marriott Theatre Presents The Classic Broadway Hit Musical: ON THE TOWN Aug. 13 - Oct. 12

Chicago, IL -- From the bustling streets of "New York, New York" comes
the first major Chicago production of the iconic musical comedy, ON THE
TOWN, previewing August 13, opening August 20, and running through
October 12 at The Marriott Theatre, 10 Marriott Drive, Lincolnshire, IL.
With an unparalleled musical score by Leonard Bernstein and book and
lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, ON THE TOWN tells the hilarious
story of three American sailors on a whirlwind 24-hour leave in New
York City. Eleven time Jeff Award winner David H. Bell directs, with
choreography by Alex Sanchez and Music Direction by Ryan T. Nelson.

Based
on Bernstein's 1944 ballet, Fancy Free, sailors Gabey, Ozzie and Chip
have only 24 hours to see the famous sights and find romance before they
report back to the ship.  From the Bronx to the Battery, the explosion
of song and dance that ensues proves that "New York, New York, it's a
helluva town."  ON THE TOWN features the classic hits "New York, New
York," "I Can Cook Too," and "Lonely Town."
