London finally discovers the Chicago theater

Chicago Tribune: "When the Steppenwolf Theatre Company arrived here on November 18, Nicholas Hytner described the famous acting ensemble at a meet-and-greet event as “the second-best thing to come out of Chicago.”
Before this month, one might reasonably have surmised that the artistic head of Britain’s prestigious National Theatre was referencing deep-dish pizza as numero uno.
Not any more."

It’s amazing how Barack Obama can change the popularity of his hometown before becoming president. How does Obama change the culture of Chicago to the point of international interest? There is an irrational obsession with the president elect that seems to be everywhere. I hope the man can live up to the hype at home and overseas.
