Teatro ZinZanni Spreads Love and Joy
Guest Contributor | Ron Keaton

Teatro ZinZanni’s exciting new production in the Spiegeltent ZaZou on the 14th floor of the Cambria Hotel in the Chicago loop is the first show that has opened downtown in the almost-post-COVID-19 era and there were a surprising number of folks in attendance all eager to be entertained. The show, conceived and directed by Norman Langill, is a theatrical experience that draws from several European and New World traditions of commedia dell’arte, vaudeville and burlesque, and is a one-ring circus with sketch comedy, magic and even a bit of Ed Sullivan’s format. The entertainment variety is intense and quite a feast for the audience’s palate that, along with the sumptuous dinner and drinks, make for a high-flying evening all around.
