almost a century. It is an irreverent musical parody written and performed entirely by judges and lawyers–all members of the CBA. Like a fine wine it has become a classic Chicago Bar holiday tradition that lampoons international, national, and local personalities who have made the news, for better or worse, during the past year. It is all in good fun and the members who perform, while not professional actors and actresses, are enormously talented and never fail to wow the audience. While “Much to Sue About Nothing” will have little resemblance to Shakespeare’s comedy “Much Ado About Nothing,” the Bard would agree that laughter is good for the body and soul and, were he with us today, he might even crack a smile or laugh before calling his lawyer. Don’t miss this year’s show. Main floor seating is $45 per person and mezzanine seating is $35 per person. Order your tickets online at www. barshow.org.
