For the last decade, Theo Ubique has set the standard for musical excellence in the off-Loop scene. And their new Jeff Award-recommended production of Smokey Joe's Cafe: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller has once again garnered raves. Hedy Weiss in the Chicago Sun-Times writes, "There is so much sassy talent generating so much rock 'n' roll heat in the Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre production of Smokey Joe's Cafe: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller that it might just be worth issuing this warning to the long-running and similarly rock-fueled show Million Dollar Quartet: After all these years, you've finally got some genuine competition."
Pride Films and Plays is thrilled that director/ choreographer Brenda Didier and the cast of Smokey Joe's Cafe will join us at Stage 773 next Tuesday, October 9, at 7 PM for Pride Films and Plays' benefit Simply Sensational 2.
Smokey Joe's Cafe joins an amazing line-up of talent, including:
The evening beings at 6 pm with appetizers and an open bar with champagne, wine, beer, and soft drinks.
At intermission, the bar reopens, and guests are welcome to sample the dessert buffet provided by J and L Catering, provided through the generosity of Michael A. Leppen.
Tickets for Simply Sensational 2 are $50 for VIP reserved center section seating, and $25 for general admission. You can purchase tickets here.
Door prizes of tickets, dinners, and gift certificates will also be raffled off during the evening. Purchase tickets here.
The evening benefits Pride Films and Plays' upcoming season, which includes the world premieres of At The Flash and Under A Rainbow Flag, and the 20th anniversary revival of Beautiful Thing.
