Marriott Theatre Announces Spectacular 2025 Season in Celebration of Upcoming 50th Anniversary


Marriott Theatre for Young Audiences will feature a remarkable season of beloved titles for kids of all ages. Chicagoland’s longest-running musical theatre invites theatergoers to an unforgettable 50th anniversary season, featuring a world premiere, the most requested return of a family classic, and three more titles brand-new to Marriott Theatre audiences. The theater is proud to present Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Titanic the Musical, Always Something There…, Catch Me If You Can, and Million Dollar Quartet Christmas. This milestone season celebrates the theater’s legacy with a mix of cherished favorites and exhilarating new productions.  

The 50th Anniversary season will kick off with one of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, directed and choreographed by Jeff Award nominee Amber Mak. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers, and the coat of many colors.  

Next in the lineup is Titanic the Musical, directed and choreographed by Connor Gallagher. Epic and majestic, capturing the triumph and tragedy of the hopeful passengers on the ill-fated Ship of Dreams. Based on the real people aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic the Musical is a stirring portrait of the passengers on board the “unsinkable ship” and the tragedy that followed.  

For a dose of summer fun, find your Walkman, your favorite 80s mix tape, and join us for a World Premiere musical! Always Something There…, by Sandy Rustin, is a modern musical homage to the beloved teen flicks of the 1980s. When Samantha Craig wakes up on the morning of her 45th birthday in her 18-year-old life, she has a chance to rewrite her past and land herself in the future of her dreams. Featuring a score of 80s hits made famous by Madonna, Whitney Houston, Culture Club, Naked Eyes, The Go-Gos, and Tiffany, among many others.  

With the fall season comes Catch Me If You Can. This delightfully entertaining musical comedy, based on the hit film and the incredible true story, is all about chasing your dreams and not getting caught. Jet-set to the 1960s where charming, young con man Frank Abagnale Jr. posed as an airline pilot, a lawyer and a doctor — and then escaped police custody, all before he turned 22. When Frank’s lies catch the attention of an FBI agent, he is pursued across the globe to pay for his crimes.  

The 2025 season will close out in style with Million Dollar Quartet Christmas. Your favorite Rock ‘n’ Roll legends return for a brand-new holiday musical experience this Christmas. Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley come together again to celebrate the holidays at Sun Records studio, filled to the brim with Christmas cheer and enough musical talent to power a city grid. Jam-packed with the sounds of the season and the chart toppers that made the “Million Dollar Quartet” famous, the gang is up to their usual antics as we journey through stories of Christmas past, present, and future.  

Subscriptions for the 50th Anniversary 2025 season and single tickets for all upcoming shows and concerts are available for purchase.
