This show takes us back to the sock hops, spotlighting Rockabilly, Doo-Wop and Motown artists, songs and the history of early Rock and Roll. Enjoy songs by Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Diana Ross, Neil Sedaka, The Everly Brothers and many, many more!

Then a special lunch will be served at Macy’s on the historic 7th floor in the Walnut Room where Chicagoans have eaten for generations. This is truly a lunch to remember! After lunch we are off to the Skydeck, where we will travel 103 stories at the Willis Tower to experience grand views of the Chicago area. If you are brave enough you can step out on “the Ledge,” a glass box extending out 4.3 feet from the Skydeck and 1,343 feet off the ground and receive a souvenir picture of yourself too! Afterwards, we will return to the hotel. Then have dinner on your own before we’ll go to the Briar Street Theatre to see a performance by the “Blue Man Group.” We’ll experience brand-new moments featuring new instruments, technologies and audience interactions as we discover music, laughter, & surprises at every turn.
