For many years the only theater production about the Chicago Cubs people could see was The Bleacher Bums, but there is a new show to see in Miracle. The musical conceived by William A. Marovitz and Julian Frazin is currently playing at The Royal George Theater on the city’s north side. Damon Kelly directed the show with the music/lyrics by Michael Mahler, Larry Novak, Julian and Rhona Frazin.
The show follows the life of Charlie (Brandon Dahlquist), a family man and ex-college ballplayer who runs a fictional Wrigleyville bar called “Maggies”, founded and named after his late mother, with his aging father.
