The Glorious Ones

The Glorious Ones

Theater On The Lake
2400 N. Lakeshore Drive Chicago

A jolly group of itinerant actors sing of themselves in The Glorious Ones, a new musical about actors who paved the streets of 16th-century Italy with sight gags and innuendo. They captured the public's adoration with bawdy comedy, before changing artistic fashion altered their lives. With buoyant music by Stephen Flaherty and an edgy book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime / Once on this Island fame), it encourages snickers in one scene, while players perform classic comic sketches, and sympathy in the next, when they sing of their hopes, fears, and heartaches.

Presented by Bohemian Theatre Ensemble
