Get ready for a hilarious and unexpected twist as Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally bring their on-screen chemistry to the stage in the world premiere of Iceboy! Or The Completely Untrue Story Of How Eugene O'Neill Came to Write The Iceman Cometh. This new musical, crafted by the minds behind Urinetown and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, is set to light up Chicago's Goodman Theatre. Offerman and Mullally, who are married in real life, will star as Eugene O'Neill and Vera Vimm, respectively. With a book by Erin Quinn Purcell and Reiss, music by Mark Hollman, and lyrics by Hollman and Jay Reiss, this production promises to be a unique and entertaining take on the classic play. The story unfolds as Vera Vimm, a Broadway star, adopts a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal from the Arctic, only to be surprised when he starts stealing the spotlight. But here's the twist: it's all set against the backdrop of Chicago, where city officials remind us of their historical aversion to catching fire! Don't miss this hilarious and thought-provoking musical adventure, running from June 9 to July 16 at the Albert Theatre. Tickets are available now!
