NOTE: This is the start of a new occasional feature on Dadapalooza, where I review and feature cultural events that would be perfect for Date Nights. A lot of the cultural reviewing I've been doing has been kid-friendly, but I've been wanting to review and bring to your attention great cultural and culinary opportunities for you and your spouse to re-connect as adults. This may be even MORE important than finding great cultural things for your kids! So drop the kid off with your in-laws, hire a babysitter, and let's get to DATE NIGHT! PS--If you've got an idea for a great date night in Chicago, let me know, and I'll check it out. Thanks for reading! |
I've been a fan of many of his songs for a long time!
Here are just a few of the songs that will be featured in the revue:
- Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive
- As Long as I Live
- Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
- Down with Love
- Fun to Be Fooled
- I Love a Parade
- If I Only Had a Brain
- It's Only a Paper Moon
- I've Got the World on a String
- Let's Fall in Love
- Lydia the Tattooed Lady
- Over the Rainbow
- Stormy Weather
- That Old Black Magic
The show, which is set in a Manhattan bar in the 1940's, features 3 men and 3 women (and 1 piano player, of course.) It sounds like a great concept, and I'm looking forward to connecting with my wife in an adult way over these wonderful classic songs.
After you see the show, you'll definitely want to read more about Harold Arlen, and probably listen to him as well (or maybe even before you see the show!)
I highly recommend the following books and albums (available from Amazon):
(These are good places to start)
