It’s showtime!<\/p>\n

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we’ve compiled a list of the Top 10 Shows for April, and without giving away any spoilers, we’re excited to check out quite a few of them. As always, buy tickets for shows as far in advance as you can to make sure they don’t sell out before you pull the trigger.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10) Sufjan Stevens<\/strong>
\nAt The Chicago Theatre<\/em>
\nApril 24-25th<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

In the past Stevens\u2019 work has been elaborately synthesized and orchestrated. This time around, the ambitious musician took a different approach, using a minimalist philosophy for Carrie and Lowell<\/em>, a record named after his parents. Stevens<\/a> is obviously touring for his newest album, but fans will remember his previous release Illinois<\/em>, which is uses both the state and city of Chicago as a theme. This almost certainly means he\u2019ll play good amount of his past tunes when he visits near the end of the month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9) Primus & The Chocolate Factory With The Fungi Ensemble<\/strong>
\nAt The Chicago Theatre<\/em>
\nApril 10th<\/sup><\/em>
\nTo say it\u2019s really hard to classify Primus<\/a> in terms of their musical genre is a blatant understatement. Their newest album\u2014Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble\u2014 <\/em>is somewhat funk metal, kind of experimental, and sort of comical. To be frank, I don\u2019t know what to call it, but I enjoyed listening to the album (which is a cover of the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory <\/em>movie). Primus puts on a great show, and Les Claypool even plays the whamola<\/a> during drum solos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8) Death Cab For Cutie<\/strong>
\nAt The Chicago Theatre<\/em>
\nApril 30th<\/sup> \u2013 May 1st<\/sup><\/em>
\nDeath Cab<\/a> is finally back with their first release since 2011. The trio\u2019s newest album, Kitsugi<\/em>, just hit the shelves at the end of March, and frontman Ben Gibbard supposedly drew inspiration from his divorce with Zooey Deschanel (juicy, I know). The album mainly focuses on what it\u2019s like to be a celebrity and the emotional and mental impact that it has on a person. The show is also at the Chicago Theatre, one of the most iconic venues in the city.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7) Daily Show Writers Standup Tour<\/strong>
\nAt Lincoln Hall<\/em>
\nApril 18<\/em>
\nAll front men need to be witty, but they need great writers too. Such is the case with John Stewart and the Daily Show writers, and the latter group is now taking the stage to show just how funny they really are in person too. The humor will be based around politics, but unlike the show, there will be a Q&A session at the end. Any aspiring writer or comedian should consider this<\/a> a must-see.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

6) Joe Bonamassa<\/strong>
\nAt The Chicago Theatre<\/em>
\nApril 16th <\/sup>– April 17th<\/sup><\/em>
\nJoe Bonamassa has released 15 albums in the past 13 years and plays around 200 shows worldwide annually\u2026 let that sink in for a moment. The man lives and breathes music on a daily basis, and it\u2019s obvious that he\u2019s among the hardest working musicians today, if not ever. The legendary blues guitarist<\/a> is sure to fire up the crowd in Chicago this month with his trademarked passion, finesse, and raw talent. Check him out at the Chicago Theatre while he\u2019s in town. You won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) Chicago Improv Festival<\/strong>
\nVarious Venues<\/em>
\nApril 20th<\/sup> \u2013 April 26th<\/sup> <\/em>
\nI\u2019m going to start by admitting I\u2019m cheating a bit here by including the entire festival (it\u2019s actually a collection of shows). There, I said it. The Chicago Improv Festival<\/a> takes place in 14 venues across Chicago, including the famed Second City. The fest will have acts from 10 different countries around the world, and if you like to laugh (newsflash, everyone does) you\u2019ll have to catch at least one show.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

4) Neil Diamond
\n<\/strong>At The United Center
\n<\/em>April 14
\n<\/em>The 74 year-old Neil Diamond<\/a> is embarking on a 74-stop World Tour! The\u00a0Sweet Caroline<\/em>\u00a0singer just released his 32nd\u00a0(that\u2019s not a typo) studio album,\u00a0Melody Road,<\/em>\u00a0and according to Billboard, it\u2019s \u201crich in orchestration that retains the dark rustic qualities of his last two studio albums of original material.\u201d The concert is going to be huge, as both new and old (don\u2019t worry, if you can use the internet you\u2019re not that<\/em> old) fans will be taking part. Scoop up some tickets while you still can.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

3) The Book of Mormon<\/strong>
\nAt The Bank of America Theatre<\/em>
\nNow Playing \u2013 May 17th<\/sup> <\/em>
\nUnder normal circumstances, I would bump this one up to the top of the list, but since it\u2019s been around for a while now, I figured I\u2019d let a couple others share the limelight. This Tony Award-winning musical<\/a> is completely and utterly hilarious. The musical follows the story of two Mormons who set out to convert African villagers to their religion. Without giving away any of the plot, let\u2019s just say that it\u2019s well-written. Oh, and there\u2019s a character named General Butt-(Censored) Naked\u2026 yeah, seriously. If you want more info, check out our blog post on why you\u2019ll love this play no matter what<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) The Joffrey Ballet \u2013 New Works<\/strong>
\nAt The Cadillac Palace Theatre<\/em>
\nApril 22nd<\/sup> \u2013 May 3rd<\/sup><\/em>
\nThe Joffrey Ballet commonly performs both classical ballets and more modern dance renditions. The New Works<\/a><\/em> show includes three different performances: Liturgy<\/em>, Evenfall<\/em>, and Incantations.<\/em> The three could not be any different, and that\u2019s what makes the show so appealing. Liturgy<\/em> comes equipped with a \u201chaunting score\u201d and features innovative partnering. Evenfall<\/em> embraces the autumn seasonal approach, and Incantations<\/em> is an abstract work of continuous movement.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Hannibal Buress<\/strong>
\nAt The Chicago Theatre<\/em>
\nApril 9th<\/sup> <\/em>
\nNowadays, it seems like everyone knows Buress for calling out Bill Cosby<\/a> on stage, but the comedian has also put out two stand-up albums, starred in two TV show\u2019s on Comedy Central (with a third on it\u2019s way), and participated in the Roast of Justin Beiber. It was also recently announced that Buress<\/a> would host the 2015 Webby awards, which are given out for \u201cExcellence on the Internet.\u201d Why did I give you all this background info? Because the man is just plain funny, and if you haven\u2019t heard of him yet, you will. His future shows will probably cost way more than this, as he\u2019s still considered an up and coming act to a degree, so catch him now while you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
