The Chicago Red Line
Whether it's just for a laugh or to make a family member uncomfortable...

Buckle Up, 'Cause This Shit Ain't PG.

After a magical trip to the Mushroom-stamp Kingdom with our Spring 2024 Mario Party show, we’re ready to go Back to the Future (Bitch!) with our latest production for Fall 2024. McFly Honey and Dr. Emmett Brown-Finger embark on a wild time-travel adventure to unravel the chaos that has ensued among the iconic and colorful stories of the Red Line’s history. Racing across the stages of yesteryear, Honey and Brown-Finger must fight dark magical forces, merge the musical multiverse, and restore balance before all future Red Line shows – and our world as we know it – are totally doomed. Get your Fux-capacitor ready as our newest adventure takes off! Join us for a split performance between the City (Thursday through Saturday) and the Burbs (Sunday Bottomless Mimosas and Bloodies brunch!) that will have you laughing across the multiverse! 

We hope to see you there!
