Melissa Manchester
Melissa Manchester has earned her place in the American songbook the deliberate way: nineteen Billboard-charted hits, five decades of recording and performing, and a theatrical career that keeps adding chapters.
Her latest: a co-starring turn in the 17-month, 51-city national tour of Funny Girl, followed by the critically acclaimed New York run of Cagney. She arrives in Chicago carrying all of it, and bringing it back to the concert stage where she has always been most herself.
Fifty Threads: An Artist's Journey is exactly what the title suggests. Manchester performs her catalog with the confidence of someone who wrote these songs and has spent a lifetime understanding what they mean. Hits like "Midnight Blue," "Don't Cry Out Loud," and "You Should Hear How She Talks About You" land differently when the person who wrote them is telling you the story behind them.
This is the kind of evening that rewards the listener who pays attention. The songs are familiar. The perspective she brings to them now is not.
🍽️ We provide food and beverage service directly to your table in the venue. Or, for an expanded menu and more relaxed experience, arrive early and enjoy a meal in our restaurant before the show. When dining in the restaurant, reservations are encouraged and can be made via Resy starting one month before the show. View Our Concert Dining Menu.(opens in a new tab)
Reserve your preferred wine by filling out this form(opens in a new tab) and have a bottle waiting at your table when you arrive at your show. No more waiting for your first drink! We will save your wine preference and have a bottle at your table for all future shows. When you want to change your wine, come back to this form and update your preference.
🎶 While we do not require a two-item food or beverage minimum, we strongly encourage it. Most ticket revenue goes directly to the artist and production costs, so food and drink purchases help support the staff, service, and atmosphere that make these intimate shows possible.
The good news: we think you’ll love the food and wine just as much as the show.
