Due to popular demand, New Millennium Theatre Company will add two additional productions of The Texas Chainsaw Musical to cap off its closing weekend. This new musical parody of the cult film “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” which has been highly recommended by the Chicago Reader, seasonal publication, and audience members, 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’. Arrive early and get your choice of the select “blood” seats connecting audience members to the carnage. 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 will run Friday and Saturday nights at 11:00 pm, October 31 through November 1 and Saturday and Sunday mornings at 12:30 am, November 1 through November 2...at National Pastime Theater, 4139 N. Broadway in Chicago. Advance tickets are $15 and can be purchased at www.nmtchicago.org or reserved by calling 312-458-9083. Blood seats available on a first come-first serve basis.
