Celebrity Autobiography
Don't schedule any meetings for this Friday at 10am, because you're going to need to be at your computer to purchase tickets for the Chicago debut of "Celebrity Autobiography," which is playing at the Royal George Theatre April 30 and May 1 at 8pm.
"Celebrity Autobiography" gives comedians and actors a chance to interpret the actual autobiographies of celebrities, many of which lend themselves nicely to unintentional hilarity. Past autobiographies read have included the works of Tiger Woods, The Jonas Brothers, Vanna White, Neil Sedaka, and more.
"Celebrity Autobiography" won a Drama Desk Award for its long-running New York engagement, but don't let it get to you that New York got this show first because the cast boasts a lot of hometown talent, including Scott Adsit ("30 Rock"), Harold Ramis ("Ghostbusters"), Tim Kazurinsky ("Police Academy"), along with Mario Cantone ("Sex and the City"), Laura Kightlinger ("Will and Grace") and the show's creators, Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, March 26 at 10am, and are priced at $32.50 - $39.50. A limited number of premium $60 seats with a "meet and greet" option are also available. Tickets are available by calling 312-988-9000, online at ticketmaster.com, or at the Royal George Box Office, 1641 N. Halsted St.
