Yeah Baby! The Texas Chainsaw Musical Opens at Chicago Fringe Tonight

What's up people - TCM running through Sunday.

Guess what? Free Parking next door at the Chicago Community Bank after 5:00 pm. I guess that doesn't work for our 4 pm show on Friday...but it shouldn't be bad then anyway. Enter the lot from 18th street and then the entrance to the theatre is in the back of the EP building - just a few short steps from the lot.

Guess what also? It's a BYOB theatre. Got the confirmation talking to the theater rep at Monday's tech. But here's an added bonus. Old Style is sponsoring the festival so if you BYOB Old Style, you'll get some free swag. So, I don't know about you, but if you're not drinking some kind of micro-brewed English Ale with a widget in the can...bring some Old Style!

What else? Oh yeah - Check me out as Leatherface on Good Day Chicago on Fox yesterday...You can't see the part where I reach for Anna and she slides away...No love for Leatherface!

Hope to see you there friends and fans! We'll let you know how it goes!

On September 1-5, 2010, New Millennium Theatre Company (NMTC) presents the must see event of the inaugural Chicago Fringe Festival 2010: The Texas Chainsaw Musical. This new musical parody of the cult film “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” takes audiences through the hot desert highway following the adventures of Sally, her disabled brother Franklin, and their three friends on the worst day of their lives. Short on gas and unfamiliar with the neighborhood, they run into the misunderstood Leatherface, whose attempts to make new friends, despite his best efforts, always seem to end in accidental decapitation. With original music performed live on stage by ‘The Family Band’ featuring Grandpa, The Cook, The Hitchhiker, and Leatherface himself, The Texas Chainsaw Musical will take you on an emotional journey of hilarity giving new meaning to the phrase, ‘Don’t Mess With Texas’. From the disturbed individuals who brought you past Halloween hits like Evil Dead: The Musical and Hack/Slash: Stagefright, cult fans and theatergoers will not want to miss The Texas Chainsaw Musical.

The Texas Chainsaw Musical runs Wed - Sep 1 at 8:30 pm, Thursday - Sep 2 at 10:00 pm, Friday - Sep 3 at - 4:00 pm, Saturday - Sep 4 at 5:30 pm, Sunday - Sep 5 at 7:00 pm at the EP Theater 1820 S Halsted Street http://www.chicagofringe.org.
