Join us as we travel to the Ford Center for the Performing Arts, formerly the Oriental Theatre, in Chicago to see the most celebrated show of the year, Billy Elliot The Musical. The show has captured hearts worldwide, delighted the critics and swept the awards – winning ten 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Time magazine calls it, “The best musical of the decade!”

We begin the day with a step back in time 60 years, when going out to eat meant something really special as we dine at the beautiful Wildfire Restaurant in Chicago. Our lunch will include; House Salad Bowl with dressing and Wildfire Chopped Salad, Spit Roasted Herb Chicken and Basil Hayden’s Bourbon Tenderloin Tips, Redskin Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Vegetables, Triple Layer Chocolate Cake and Seasonal Berry Crisp with Ice Cream. It will be served family style so you can have choices, or sample everything.

After lunch we settle in to our reserved Loge seats to experience Billy Elliot The Musical, the spectacular show with heart, humor and passion. Music legend Elton John has written what the New York Post calls, “His best score yet!” Set in a small Northern England coal mining town, it is the thrilling, inspiring story of a young boy who stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class, discovering his surprising talent that inspires his family and his whole community. A joyous celebration of one boy’s journey to make his dreams come true, Billy Elliot The Musical will enchant the dreamer in all of us. Full of life, laughter, astonishing dancing and unforgettable music, this uplifting experience will stay with you forever.
