London's Regent Park JC Superstar in Chicago in April

Lyric Opera Chicago presents Regent Park's JC Superstar

Just picked up on this, the Regents Open Air production of Superstar that won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival and Best Musical in the Evening Standard Awards is playing in Chicago this April and May - is this a pre-Broadway try out or is this the show that is going on the road? Really Useful is involved are they importing the British cast?

For the past few years the Lyric has been importing productions from other countries for their musicals. The recent The King and I, and My Fair Lady were both from the Theatre De Chatlet. It may be a cost issue. I'm kinda fascinated to see who they will get to star in this, that will probably determine weather I go or not. Last season at the Parmount in Aurora was a fantastic production with an all black cast.

Dont' worry about prices, there always seems to be some sort of discount through out the runs on their shows
