Variety reports the show will launch Summer of 2016 with its eyes on a Broadway debut the following theater season. So why is land-locked Chicago getting first dibs on the story that takes place in a pineapple under the sea? Probably because one of the show's creators is Steppenwolf Theater's Tina Landau, who initially made her name in the Chicago scene with Bug, August: Osage County and Superior Donuts. The latter two went on to Broadway runs.
The book is by Kyle Jarrow, who is best known for A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant, an Off-Broadway award winning satirical musical about L Ron Hubbard that first saw a Chicago run at Red Orchid Theater on 2008. Musical director Tom Kitt brings a bit of rock and roll to the production with experience composing the music for the stage version of High Fidelity and as the music supervisor and orchestrator of Green Day's American Idiot productions.

NEWS: AIRBNB GOES BAD FOR CHICAGO MAN
If you’ve ever had roommates, you probably have a roommate horror story. But one Chicago condo owner clearly has one of the worst, after he returned home to find out the person he rented a room to had secretly put the rest of his condo on Airbnb.
Robert Corwin told CBS Chicago that he splits his time between the West Coast and his West Town condo. When he recently returned home to Chicago, he found a young couple in his bed, his liquor supply was depleted and there was a hookah on the dining room table.
“Your imagination goes crazy,” Corwin said. “What’s been going on? It could be everything from orgies to drugs.”
He says as he escorted the couple out of his condo, they told Corwin they rented the room on Airbnb, the short-term apartment renting service.
