If you like theater that is a bit off beat, I highly recommend Burning Bluebeard at Theater Wit. It was a big hit in town two years ago.....and it is a Christmas show (sort of), and a comedy, and poignant, about an actual Chicago tragedy. I went two years ago and was really hoping they would restage it--and they have with the original cast.

Hard to describe but if you can handle a bit off beat, it's great!
