Get ready for a hilarious and unexpected twist as Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally bring their on-screen chemistry to the stage in the world premiere of Iceboy! Or The Completely Untrue Story Of How Eugene O'Neill Came to Write The Iceman Cometh. This new musical, crafted by the minds behind Urinetown and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, is set to light up Chicago's Goodman Theatre. Offerman and Mullally, who are married in real life, will star as Eugene O'Neill and Vera Vimm, respectively. But here's the intriguing part: Vera Vimm, a Broadway star, adopts a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal from the Arctic, only to be surprised when he starts stealing the spotlight. With music by Mark Hollman, lyrics by Hollman and Jay Reiss, and a book by Erin Quinn Purcell and Reiss, this show promises to be a unique and entertaining experience. The couple shared their excitement, stating, 'We're thrilled to return to Chicago, where we began our theatrical journey. Although we initially aimed for a Tennessee Williams production, the city's fire safety concerns led us to this delightful and fiery new musical, Iceboy!'
