ock and Roll Hall of Famer and six-time Grammy Award-winner Buddy Guy is also known as Chicago’s blues king, ruling his domain just as his idol and mentor Muddy Waters did before him. His high-energy guitar histrionics and boundless on-stage energy have always been Guy trademarks, along with a tortured vocal style that’s nearly as distinctive as his incendiary rapid-fire fretwork. Grammy Award-winner Jonny Lang is hailed as a Blues prodigy with the screaming Telecaster, becoming a professional musician at the age of 12. Notable for both his strong and passionate vocals and his guitar prowless, Lang has been on the road since his now platinum debut Lie to Me, touring with industry giants like BB King, The Rolling Stones, Sting and Aerosmith. Most recently, Lang was featured on the 2012 season of American Idol as mentor to winner Phillip Phillips.

Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. Come meet the family. We’ll leave the lights off for you.

MAYBE QUESTIONING THE NORM SHOULD BE THE NEW NORM. Every time a bar gets raised, a record gets broken, or a new star shines, it’s because somebody was curious. Wondering how high they could reach. How much they could do. As a proud supporter of the Fox Theater Series, we applaud that. Questioning everything makes anything possible.
