Chicago Tap Theatre presents a night of rock and tap, exclusively featuring the music of the legendary Queen. Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and songwriter, and Queen entertained fans for more than four decades with their powerful vocals and musical fusion of hard rock and glam rock. This one night only event will be a bright, heartfelt and over the top celebration of this iconic band, as interpreted by Music Director Schweitz and Chicago Tap Theatre. Playing during Pride Week in Chicago, this is the perfect time to recognize and honor Queen’s contribution to the music world. In addition guest artists Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus, Lakeside Pride Freedom Marching Band and Chicago Spirit Brigade join CTT on stage and the performance marks the debut of an unprecedented concert aerial tap piece, in collaboration with C5, in this large-scale extravaganza.

In addition to guest stars, Chicago Tap Theatre members performing in We Will TAP You include: Mark Yonally, Jen Yonally, Kirsten Uttich, Aimee Chase, Isaac Stauffer and Sarah Owens.
