The Ballad of Lefty & Crabbe (Workshop)

  • The Understudy 4609 N Clark Street Chicago, IL (map)

Underscore Theatre Company in Chicago presents a limited-run workshop production of musical comedy The Ballad of Lefty & Crabbe, written by Brian Huther, Ben Auxier, Seth Macchi, and Ryan McCall!

Tickets are absolutely free but seating is very limited - reserve yours online at https://dime.io/events/workshop-performance

Set in the 1920's during the decline of Vaudeville and the rise of Hollywood, The Ballad of Lefty & Crabbe tracks the journey of an ultra-sharp but down-on-their-luck comedy duo as they navigate the rapidly changing world of entertainment.

This silly and joyous musical comedy opened to packed houses and standing ovations at its full-length premiere in Kansas City, 2017. Last year it received several panel awards at The Chicago Musical Theatre Festival, including Best Book, and Best of Festival!
