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.

Thanks so much for this giveaway! I would love, love, love to take my kiddos to see Aladdin.
I tweeted about the giveaway – @DiaperDaisy. Thanks again!
This is an awesome giveaway!!! I’d love to take my kids to see it and it would also be their first play.
We go to Chicago all the time but we’ve never been to Navy Pier. A show would be such a fun excuse to go!
I would love to win this for my niece and her girls. My little girls aren’t old enough for something like this yet.
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!!!
I love this theatre – my husband and I used to go all the time before the baby! How fun!
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!
My girls would pee their pants.
Tweet link? What? How? Tweeted @KrisLivo

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.
Tweet!

I would pee my pants to win this. I haven’t had the opportunity to do much fun with my family this year and it would just be amazing to take my boys.
I tweeted about it! @mamatisca
Neat!
I love any excuse to drive down to Chicago!
I know it was a great play because I heard firsthand reviews. How fun that you all went and enjoyed it so!
We took Aiden to his first play this year. It was The Jungle Book. He loved it..
Oh my- my almost 6 year old would love this. I saw this advertised in the chicago parenting magazine. I love navy pier- I just dont love the expensive parking LOL.
And as almost every 5 year old is a princess fan she would be over the hill thrilled. PLEASE
Oh please.
Crossing my fingers

What a wonderful givesway and great reason to re-visit Navy Pier. My son absolutely loves the Childrens Museum and I didnt even know about the theatre. It would definitely be nice to win. Thanks!
Also just tweeted about this great giveaway @BflyKissesBtq
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!
I would love to go see Aladdin with my fiance! We love going to Chicago for the weekends, and always try to do new things. This would be just perfect, since our wedding is being held at Disney!
I know two little girls who would be thrilled to go see this with me!!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
My twin pre-schoolers would just be over the moon about seeing Aladdin. They’re love trying new things and going to new places. We’d surely appreciate the chance to see the show.
My 3 year old twins love the story of Aladdin .. and this would be their first play! Keeping fingers crossed.
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!
Thank you for the chance to win. I don’t have a blog & don’t know how to post direct link to a tweet, but I am RT-ing 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!
(But don’t choose me as a winner if the tickets have to be used at a later date. Thanks!)
I would so love to win this! My kids love plays, especially Disney ones! And Navy Pier too! Woo Hoo!
I tweeted @ADisneyFamly
We live 1 1/2 hours from Chi-town…but would love a reason to drive into the city w/ the family…! I’m excited already!
I am hooked on Disney. And sadly because of still shortened hours, anything without cost is even better! Keeping my fingers crossed!
