Previous concert performances have been presented at architecturally significant venues, including:

“The White City Musical was very well-received by guests at the November production at Pleasant Home in Oak Park, Illinois. With the combination of history, humor and excellent musical performances, the show appealed to a wide audience including seniors, young adults, music aficionados and architecture buffs. Guests particularly enjoyed the representation of Daniel Burnham and Louis Sullivan, and music numbers such as “Never Marry an Architect” and “Are You In” were crowd favorites. If The White City Musical were to become a full production, there will already be a solid fan base who will jump at the chance to experience it again.”
