Stage 773
1225 W Belmont Ave Chicago

Wabash Avenue, Chicago, 1939. Joey Evans, a brash, scheming song-and-dance man elbows his way into a job at a south side nightclub and is soon juggling the affections of a naive shop girl and a wealthy society dame who he hopes will set him up in business. When a meddling punk threatens to shake them down, Joey gets a taste of his own medicine in this ground-breaking, hard-as-nails classic featuring one of the greatest American musical scores including “I Could Write a Book,” “You Mustn’t Kick it Around,” “Zip” and “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.”
