Columbia College Chicago Theatre alumni are in the cast and creative team of the North American premiere of Sunny Afternoon, running March 21 through April 27 at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.
The British rock musical, a London hit, chronicles the story of The Kinks, the English rock ‘n’ roll band that exploded onto the ’60s music scene with a raw, energetic new sound that rocked a nation and changed the industry forever. The story of the band’s rise to fame is told through their own hit songs, including “You Really Got Me,” “Lola,” and “All Day and All of the Night” – all performed live onstage.
