“I Love Lucy, Live On Stage,” currently running at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place, 175 E. Chestnut, will be taking a brief “station break” after its Nov. 11 performance. The production, a music-infused reinvention of two classic “I Love Lucy” programs, will close down temporarily to make room for the previously scheduled “Potted Potter — The Unauthorized Harry Experience,” the 70-minute frolic featuring two actors, Daniel Clarkson and Jeff Turner, supplying the ultimate comic condensation of J.K. Rowling’s seven Harry Potter books (running Nov. 13-Dec. 23).
“I Love Lucy” will then reopen Dec. 29, (for an extended run through March 3), with the same principal actors playing Lucy, Desi, Ethel and Fred.
For tickets to both shows call (800) 775-2000 or visit www.BroadwayInChicago.com.
