Bad Guys in Suits

Apollo Theater, Chicago

About the Show

Four mobsters of Depression era 1930s have a particularly bad day at the office in Hobo Junction Company’s latest incarnation of Bad Guys In Suits. This one-hour musical comedy is replete with original song and dance numbers, witty banter and larger-than-life characters that epitomized screwball entertainment of that time.

Bad Guys In Suits centers on four mobsters who try earn a respectable living–in spite of hard times and their seedy job descriptions–on what becomes the longest night of their lives. As if placating the boss weren’t hard enough, they also have to deal with nagging wives, unwanted advances from transvestite speakeasy entertainers and occupational hazards such as unintended self-inflicted gunshot wounds. It’s enough to make a man wonder if he should consider another line of work.
