Just like Peter Pan himself, the story of his many adventures never grows old — and it’s not hard to see why. Chock-full of fun and imagination, with pirates, a gang of runaways, magic pixie dust and the ultimate wish fulfillment of soaring through the sky, J.M. Barrie’s classic tale continues to enchant and be reinvented for new generations. Now, Chicago Shakespeare Theater stages a fresh musical adaptation from the team behind Broadway’s Mary Poppins. With a 75-minute running time, Peter Pan: A Musical Adventure is the perfect introduction to live theater for young audiences, and will continue to inspire adventures all summer long. Stick around after the show to meet the cast and snap some selfies, then make a day of it at Navy Pier!  Since this is a kids show, all performance dates are daytime – yeah!  Choose a date through the end of July and get tickets as low as $15 through Goldstar.

Their quirky sense of humor, harmonies Paul McCartney is on record as envying, and feel-good grooves make for a perfect night of music. Now the multiplatinum-selling Canadian rockers bring their rollicking roadshow Last Summer on Earth tour to Chicago’s Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island.
