Lucy and Ricky Ricardo—that wacky and lovable couple—have captured America’s imaginations since 1951, when their show first premiered on national television. Now, they’re coming to Chicago, where I Love Lucy ® Live on Stage opens Broadway in Chicago’s 2012–13 season at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E. Chestnut), running through Nov. 11.

As an audience member, in a meta experience, you actually become the studio audience at the filming of two familiar I Love Lucy episodes. With the Ricardos’ 623 East 68th St. living room and the Tropicana nightclub bandstand as a backdrop, a host tells you about the filming process and about this crazy new thing called “television.” In between scenes, a group of singers perform jingles from the show’s newest advertisers—Alka Seltzer and Brylcream, for example. Performances are Wed., 2 and 7:30pm; Thu.–Fri., 7:30pm; Sat., 2 and 8pm; Sun., 2 and 6pm. Tickets run $23–$65.
