Currently in the midst of its first run at the Mercury Theater, the Chicago Children's Theatre announced today that its show The Houdini Box will magically reappear for a second run March 14–25 at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. The world-premier musical adaptation of author-illustrator Brian Selznick's (Hugo fame) book of the same name has been met with positive reviews, including this one from our very own Web Behrens who calls the show a "fun-loving musical with whiz-bang visuals and whimsical puppetry".
The Skokie performances take place 10:15am Tuesday–Friday and 11am and 2pm Saturday–Sunday beginning March 14. Tickets are $15-$41. The show continues at the Mercury Theater through March 4. For tickets and information on both runs, visit chicagochildrenstheatre.org.
