It&#8217;s very close to most famous big theaters. 6:30 to 7:30 is probably its most busy hours, because lots of customers come here to have dinner before shows at 8pm. This restaurant even has a &#8220;pre-theater&#8221; prix-fixe menu, for around 26$. We were quite satisfied with the food there. Space is a little tight though. Still a fair choice before a broadway show.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;special&#8221; thing of this dinner, is a handsome gay couple sitting beside us. We were basically sharing a 4-ppl table, so xw kept overhearing them talking&#8230; They were both dance teachers, dressed nicely. It&#8217;s obvious this is a couple because they had a lip kiss over the table&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>OK, back to musical. Chicago is a nice show. I would give it 8.5\/10. If Mamma Mia is about sing and dance, Billy Elliot is about boy and ballet, the key word of this show is definitely SEXY. Long leg women and six-pack men, broadway level dancing and singing. Very enjoyable show!<\/p>\n<p>I do like the main actress (Charlotte d&#8217;Amboise, starring\u00a0Roxie) very much. She has attractive voice, brilliant dancing and cute acting style. Hard to believe she is already 47 years old!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadway.com\/shows\/chicago\/buzz\/158184\/charlotte-damboise-and-john-ohurley-return-to-chicago-alongside-bahiyah-sayyed-gaines\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Charlotte d'Amboise\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.broadway.com\/article-photos\/large\/1.157230.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"303\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Thursday was xw&#8217;s birthday.
