Variety: Chicago isn't known for its musicals, but with new infrastructure springing up, the winds of change are blowing in the Windy City.
Gotham hits "August: Osage County," "A Steady Rain" and "Ruined" all started in Chi-town, seeming to establish a core of the brand for new legit work emerging from the area: intense, serious and full of emotion. But toe-tapping tuners? Not so much.
The past several months , however, have been especially robust for Chicagoland tuners, suggesting that musical development in the city may be where play development was about a decade or so ago.

I hope that Chicago can bring some more good works to the stage. I am so sick of seeing adaptations of movies and disney being the face of theatre across the country. I hope they can bring some good new musicals to theatres across the country because we need more modern musicals as the golden age musicals become over done to the point where people will not come to see them.
