A Brand New Cast Of Dolphins!

That's right, after two weeks of auditions and callbacks featuring Northwestern's most talented singers, tappers, and actors, The 7oth Annual Dolphin Show got some brand-new Tap-Dancin' Dolphins for this year's production of "42ND STREET". You can see the list HERE! Thanks to all those who auditioned and congrats to our new Dolphins!!

Dolphin Of The Week!

If you hit up any movie theater this month, or if you opened any paper or talked to any true film aficionado, then you know one thing for certain: Dolphins have taken the film world by storm. And I'm not just talking about any dolphin either, I'm talking about "Winter", the real-life bottlenosed Dolphin on whom the movie "Dolphin Tales", starring Morgan Freeman and Harry Connick Jr., is based. This heart-warming story of a young Dolphin who faces the life-threatening challenge of irreperable tail damage, has swum it's way into the hearts of millions of Americans. If you have not yet seen this movie, close your computer and go to the nearest theater immediately. It's just delightful. It goes without saying that this week, our dolphin of the week is Winter, the half-tailed but doubly-hearted Dolphin. A round of applause and a hearty "mazel tov" to Winter our Dolphin of the Week!!

Dolphin Show Does The Marathon!

Thanks to Anne and all of our friendz at marathonfoto, Dolphin made their annual appearance at the finish line of the Chicago full marathon this past week. If you ran and completed the marathon--whether the race ended in vomit, celebration, misery, or ambivalence, one thing is for sure: you were greeted by a group of proud and enthusiastic Dolphins. So runners, keep on keepin on: keep on running so we can keep cheering you on year after year! "Who needs a photo??!!"

The Book of Mormon Coming to Chicago!

Fans of musicals, religion, profanity and just about everything else are celebrating news that The Book of Mormon, Broadway's latest smash hit, is landing in Chicago in December 2012.

The announcement has already boosted season sales for Broadway In Chicago, even though opening night is over 14 months away. Researchers for BIC have estimated Mormon will bring in over $500 million in economic gross for Chicago businesses.

The best news of all? The Bank of America Theatre is only 14 miles away from Cahn Auditorium, where the 71st annual Dolphin Show opens one month later in January 2013.

Check out the Tribune's write-up here.

Dolphin Dashes at the Half-Marathon!

Well, not quite, but we will be there! As is our annual tradition, members of the Dolphin Show Team will be working at the finish line of the annual Chicago half-marathon cheering on ambitious and athletic Chicago-uns as they complete the race. So if you’re running, walking, strutting, or even just cheering on friends at the Half-marathon this year look for us at the finish line!

Dolphin of The Week

Due to the turbulence of hurricane Irene, a 6-fooot bottlenose dolphin was hoisted from it’s home in the Chesapeake Bay into a freshwater tributary of the Chicahominy River.

Lucky for us, Irene didn’t stop by the windy city.

For the daunting nature of its task ahead, we award this little creature with “Dolphin of The Week”.

SWIM FREELY HOME, FRIEND!

What's New On the Big Stage

Droids, Drinking, and Dublin

If you missed it on broadway and then again during it’s run on HBO, fear not because Carrie Fisher’s one woman show “Wishful Drinking” is coming to the Bank of America Theater in Chicago. Tickets are still on sale for the show’s run from October 4-16. If you like droids, buns, paul simon, and hard alcohol, or just want to see a funny show—this is the one for you.



What’s that? You’re not from Chicago? You’re from NY? Oh and you also really loved the movie Once and thought the music from that movie was really swell?
Well that’s awesome, because Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova’s musical journey is coming to the Off Broadway stage. Adapted from their movie “Once” by playwright Enda Walsh, the two singer songwriters will bring their story to the New York Theater Workshop in November.




So look out for the new adaptation this November.
That’s all the news for now.
