Sun Mar 22          "Water for Elephants"   Playhouse Square   Matinee performance    $166 per person

Dinner is at Republic in the Playhouse Square Complex

The critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to "thrilling, dazzling" life in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical!  Hailed as a Critic's Pick, The New York Times calls it "stunning, emotional, heart-filled and gorgeously imaginative."

After losing what matters most, a young man jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life - and love - beyond his wildest dreams.  Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.


So, step right up to the "spellbinding entertainment" (Variety) at Water for Elephants, "the best new musical on Broadway" (Theatromania)


Dinner selection is required upon reservation from the following options:  


1.  Republic Rice Bowl w/Shrimp - chickpea salad, edamame, pickled red onion, tomato, feta, and arugula

The first day of the week is a perfect time to go shopping for all the ingredients for a week full of great meals.  Be sure to bring along a cold bag or cooler (plenty of room under the bus) to store any of the cold items you are sure to want to buy at the following markets.

We will start our day off with a visit to Alladin Bakery for a huge assortment of pitas - something I bet you have never seen before along with other breads and bakery items.  Then we are off to The Westside Market which has been under renovation and the outdoor area is now undercover for any kind of weather - a wonderful improvement.  Then to the inside that has every ethnic meat assortment available, especially sausages that seem to

be a great favorite.  Bakery, bread and pasta are in no short supply!  A bullet lunch will follow at "Republic" with Corbos Bakery right next store!  And then the best for last - Gallucci's Italian Market that has everything Italian.  If you are tired at this point you can even purchase a premade dinner to take home and a bottle of wine to go with it.  It doesn't get better than that.
