The Goodman Theatre and the historic Music Box Theatre are joining forces through Goodman's Centennial celebration, 100 Free Acts of Theater, to bring you a FREE screening of Iceboy! Or The Completely Untrue Story Of How Eugene O'Neill Came to Write "The Iceman Cometh" the Goodman's highly anticipated summer musical this season. Join us at the beautiful Music Box Theatre for this unprecedented opportunity to see a Goodman production on the big screen.
About Iceboy!
Broadway’s brightest star of 1938, Vera Vimm (Megan Mullally/Will & Grace), is at the top of her game. But when she adopts a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal discovered frozen in the Arctic, the spotlight begins to shift. As Iceboy thaws, he unexpectedly becomes a theatrical sensation, inspiring the “father of the American drama” Eugene O’Neill (Nick Offerman/Parks and Recreation) and challenging his legendary mother for center stage. It’s All About Eve…if only Eve was a caveman.
