10 Chicago theater shows to see in April

As you retire your winter coat and break out the shorts and flip-flops (a bold move in April, but we admire your gumption), Chicago theaters are offering a clean slate of new shows to enjoy. Ike Holter’s Rightlynd Saga concludes with Lottery Day at the Goodman, while Lauren Yee’s Cambodian Rock Band at Victory Gardens features music from L.A. outfit Dengue Fever. If you prefer stone-cold classics, nab tickets to see Hamlet at Chicago Shakes or A Chorus Line at Porchlight Music Theatre. Meanwhile, Cruel Intentions: The ’90s Musical ushers in the laughs and makes you feel really old. The forecast for April may be wildly unpredictable, but these 10 Chicago theater shows are solid bets.
