Aladdin (giveaway…)

By Beth
Jul 14, 2009

On Sunday, my cute little family and I had the opportunity to see Aladdin at The Shakespeare Theater which is quaintly located inside Navy Pier.

I love any reason to go to Navy Pier and I go about once every eight years, I’m wondering why I don’t go there more often.  (what is wrong with me?  IT’SSOCLOSE and so wonderful, yet I never go.)

Anyway, this was the first play the kids have ever seen, they weren’t sure what to expect and when the lights went out, Ariel was a little frightened.  But then the singing and the acting began and we all entered the world of Aladdin.  This theater is small, very cute and the actors are right in front of you, which is a treat.  You don’t miss a single expression, and you hear every word.  Which is, you know, really cool when you are at a play.

We loved it.  Even Brian loved it.  The humor is wonderful, the actors were perfect, the talent was amazing.  We totally recommend it.  And the kids keep asking if we can go back and see it.

I am really excited to be able to give TWO FAMILIES a chance to see this play for themselves.  You can even choose which date works best for you.  And you get 40% off of your parking!   I love this giveaway because it will give an entire family a wonderful outing that will always be remembered.

So, what do you have to do?  Well, first, you must live in the Chicago area.  Second, just leave a comment on this post.  you can also get a second chance to win by tweeting about the giveaway.  But leave your tweet link in a separate comment.  And you can get a third chance to win by blogging about this giveaway, but leave your post link in a separate comment, too!

That’s it!

This giveaway ends on Friday, July 17th at 9 pm CST.  The winners will be chosen randomly, so good luck!

    This comes at perfect time we just took Alyssa to see Seasame street live and she absolutely loved it. She just sat in amazement of the characters. I know she would love this show and we would too. I was just at Navy Pier this week and it is really awesome something I know I should do more often. Thanks for the opportunity Beth!!!

    So exciting…I would love to win this. Steph was a theater major and we loved going to see her plays, as well as other plays. I would probably take her and a grand-kid or 2, maybe 3 or 4. So glad you and your family had such a memorable time. I love Navy Pier too. THANKS!

    We were just up there to go to the Childrens Museum and my 6 year old saw the posters for it and she kept asking to go and see it. I would love to surprise her with it.

    My kids love live theater (even if they’ve only seen high school drama clubs and Disney on ice!) and they have never been to Navy Pier! I have taken my girl scout troop to Chicago several times, but never seem to get my boys there! They would love it! I don’t tweet or blog, but I read yours everyday and really enjoy it. Thanks for the entertainment!

    My grandchildren would love to see this play — they are little drama queens and kings themselves. It would be wonderful to see their reaction to it and their parents (as usual) would make sure it was a great learning experience for them. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

    This sounds really neat, Beth. The only play Alex has seen was a high school production of Peter Pan and he enjoyed it, so I know he’d love this. Thanks for offering this!

    This summer has been a slow one for our little family of 4, maybe this is what we need.. A magic carpet ride to the city!!
    Good luck everyone!

    My hubs & daughter are coming in on the train with me for the Wed/Thu before BlogHer & we plan on going to Navy Pier. They might really enjoy this!
