I love to see the downtown productions when I can, habit from my youth. My budget doesn't stretch that far, other than 2 or 3 times per year. However we have a very nice professional theater outlet,
Drury Lane in Oak Brook, that has mostly musicals. Last Sunday my brother, sister-in-law, and I went to see
Mame. We also had the
champagne brunch before the 2 pm show. Total cost for theater and brunch? $54.00.
All 3 of the downtown performances were over $100. Dinner or lunch is at least $55.00, more with a drink.
I'm seriously thinking of buying
next year's seasonal tickets-$115. The only catch is you must attend within the first week of opening. Still a very good buy and they're all musicals!
