Sing a
Long for the Park
Sound of Music Returns
The Music
Box Theater supports IMAGINE Sheil Park Playground Renovation
when the Sing-A-Long SOUND OF
MUSIC returns to the Music Box Theatre (3733 N Southport)
November 28-30, 2008.
Get out your warm woolen mittens and blue satin sashes.
The city is alive with SING-ALONG SOUND OF MUSIC! The evening
begins with a live introduction in which your host will lead you
through a vocal warm-up, judge the best costume competition and
award prizes. (Costumes are not compulsory but they are highly
recommended and you will be amazed at the inventiveness on display.)
The host will then show you how to use your free goody bag
throughout the film and suggest some appropriate heckles and
accompanying actions (such as hissing the countess, barking at Rolf
and, of course, cheering for Julie). Then, you sit back and
watch the original 1965 movie in glorious Technicolor™ with the
lyrics for all the songs on the screen, so you won't miss a chance
to sing your hearts out.
Tickets are $12 and available in advance exclusively through www.ticketweb.com. Day-of tickets will be
available at the theatre box
office. |

As you may know, Wrigley Field will play host to
the Chicago Blackhawks on New Year's Day, January 1, 2009. The
Chicago Cubs have successfully negotiated for local residents to

protections will also be in place to address parking, traffic and
other quality of life issues, including added personnel in the
neighborhood.
Ticket prices were set by the National Hockey
League and range from $75 for bleacher seats to $325 for upper deck
- the seats with the best view. Since there are a limited number of
tickets available, a lottery will be held for the opportunity to
purchase these tickets. Residents who are interested in purchasing
tickets must fill out and submit a registration form. There is no
charge to register for and no obligation to buy a ticket. To
register for your opportunity to purchase tickets, please visit: www.cubs.com/wcn before noon CT on Monday,
