Chicago’s acclaimed and family friendly Emerald City Theatre opens their production of “Schoolhouse Rock Live!” at the Apollo Theater this weekend.
Through unforgettable songs like “Just a Bill” and “Conjunction Junction” (can I hear you say “what’s your function?”), a nervous schoolteacher must discover how to charm his students through imagination and music on the first day of class. Based on the beloved and award-winning animated series many of us grew up with, “Schoolhouse Rock Live!” brings the treasured Saturday morning melodies of the ‘70s back in a hip new way.
“Schoolhouse Rock Live!” opens on Feb. 27 at the Apollo Theater (2540 N. Lincoln Ave.) and ticket prices start at $15. View the complete performance schedule here.
