SUMMARY:Bowie Ball - David Bowie’s 79th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Chicago it is time to experience Bowie Ball\, where we celebrate the legend\, the chameleon\, and the man… David Bowie. \nBowie Ball is being held on Saturday\, Jan 3rd 2026 to celebrate the life and legend of David Bowie on what would have been his 79th Birthday. So get into the spirit with us – glam it up\, dress like a dandy and let’s love the alien with some glitter on top. \nBowie Ball is a glam and drag dance party founded in Chicago by DJ Heaven Malone. Bowie Ball is on Saturday\, January 3rd\, 2026 in Chicago. Bowie Ball 2016 on David Bowie’s Birthday celebrated Bowie’s last studio album “Blackstar” and unfortunately we later learned\, his passing into stardust. Bowie Ball 2015 coincided with the end of “David Bowie Is”\, the multimedia exhibition on one of the most influential and iconic artists of our time – David Bowie. For Bowie Ball 2014\, even David Bowie tweeted and posted about our incredibly extravagant and packed partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art to announce their David Bowie Is exhibition. Bowie Ball 2013 came with the surprise announcement that after 10 years of silence\, a brand new album titled “The Next Day” was being released.

SUMMARY:Life is a Queer Cabaret: a night of musical theatre & queer joy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a cabaret of performers challenging the typical gender roles of musical theatre pieces. Don’t miss this sellout event!\n\n\n\nWithout changing anything in the text itself (pronouns\, description\, action\, etc)\, how does an identity change the way an audience engages with a character? What does it mean for Cabaret’s Emcee to be played by a woman? For Jack Kelly to be queer? For Audrey or Seymour to be played by trans actors? \nIdentities hold significance\, and with a backlog of many cis\, often straight or straight-assumed characters\, there is value in exploring and changing the narrative of musical theatre works. Whether it be for a nuanced dramatic effect or a comedic one\, we want to see musical theatre gender-fuckery (and beyond) at play! \nFEATURING: Essential Invisible\, Wesley Beyers\, Makenna Van Raalte\, Felicia Hinojosa \, Michael Davis Arnold\, Gina Saglimbeni \, Emely Cuestas\, Jacque Bischoff\, Reva Sangal\, Cas Lam & Rogelio Castro. \nDoors at 6pm with a one hour happy hour before the performances begin at 7pm. Dorothy remains open after the show until 11pm. \nTickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. \nDorothy is 21+ and requires physical ID for all to enter. Dorothy is also ADA accessible with elevator access on Campbell Ave. If you are a guest who requires elevator access\, please wait by the black door on Campbell Ave with our logo in the window and call our staff to assist: 773-770-3799 \nPlease note: refund requests are only available until 24h before the show (11/19\, 7pm). No other refund requests will be honored.

SUMMARY:Steppenwolf: The Big Reveal Live Show
DESCRIPTION:Show runs August 1 – August 3 \nGlobal drag icon Sasha Velour (HBO’s We’re Here\, RuPaul’s Drag Race) brings her latest theatrical spectacular\, The Big Reveal Live Show to Chicago after sold out shows across the US and Europe. \nKnown for her emotional\, thoughtful and crowd-shaking reveals\, The Big Reveal Live Show takes things to a whole new level as Velour goes further than she ever has before. Grounded in classic theater\, the show takes on many forms over the course of 90 minutes: high-concept lip sync performances\, artful oration\, childhood film footage\, video art and more. The Big Reveal Live Show shows this superstar at her most playful and hilarious. From the show’s whip smart comedic script and side-splitting gags\, she uses comedy as a way to disarm audiences and hit them with emotional truths. The show’s drag performances are accompanied by a diverse soundtrack ranging from Stevie Wonder to Britney Spears\, Stephen Sondheim to Deep Purple. \nCopies of Velour’s book\, The Big Reveal: An Illustrated Manifesto of Drag\, will be available for sale at the show and purchasers will have a chance to get their copy signed by Velour after the performance.
