Bailiwick Repertory Theatre - Chicago IL

Thanks for visiting the on-line home of Chicago's Bailiwick Repertory, an award-winning leader of Chicago's off-Loop theater scene since 1982. Bailiwick once again leads the way with the total number of Jeff Recommendations for our works this season. We earned 5 nominations for A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, 2 for BARE, and 6 for JERRY SPRINGER - THE OPERA.

Bailiwick's highly anticipated HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, adapted with original music by Dennis DeYoung, has just started previews, and will be one of the most exciting shows you have ever experienced at Bailiwick. The cast of 20 features: George Andrew Wolff as Quasimodo; James Rank as Phoebus; Liz Pazik as Mahiette; Jeremy Rill as Fr. Frollo; and Dana Tretta as Esemerelda. With full-throated company numbers, and the soaring ballads that made the rock band Styx a household name in Chicago and throughout the world, HUNCHBACK is a contemporary musical that will definitely leave you humming the score. I guarantee that when you hear the first number - Who Will Love This Child? - you will be hooked and not disappointed for a moment

Book your tickets and subscription seats early to avoid disappointment. You can purchase your tickets online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via our secure checkout process; or make a donations to assist us in the realization of our theatrical aspirations by calling 773-883-1090.

Die! Mommie, Die! tells the tale of Angela Arden; a washed-up singer trapped in a loveless marriage, with a daughter that despises her and a mentally unstable son until she finds happiness in the arms of Tony Parker, a very “gifted” gigolo. Or does she?

Comedian BILLY MASTERS
GOING OUT ON A LIMB

Comedian and syndicated gossip columnist Billy Masters brings his new solo show, "Going Out On A Limb: Confessions of a Hollywood Insider" to the Bailiwick Studio where he will dish dirt, name names, and have you rolling in the aisles.

As a stand-up comedian, Billy has opened for some of the biggest names around including: Joy Behar, Kathy Griffin, Joan Jett, The Bangles, Berlin, Taylor Dayne, Eartha Kitt, Grace Jones, and many more. He also opened up for George Michael, but who hasn't?

His column has run in Gay Chicago Magazine for the past 12 years, and during that time, he has made countless friends - and enemies - in Tinsletown. From Faye Dunaway to Joan Rivers and even Oprah, Billy takes on the rich and famous and reveals the truth behind the glitz and glamour. He also will share some of his exclusive photos and videos, take questions from the audience, and even solve a blind item or two.

BILLY MASTERS - GOING OUT ON A LIMB opens on Wednesday May 21st at 8:00 PM and continues Friday May 23rd at 8:00 PM and Sunday May 25th at 7:00 PM. Tickets for all performances are $20.00
