Martinis at the Martin Series

Three legendary leading ladies of the Broadway stage will headline Ravinia Festival’s 2008 Martinis at the Martin series. The popular cabaret series will celebrate the Great American Songbook with performances by Betty Buckley on June 23, Barbara Cook on July 7 and Carol Lawrence on September 4, 2008.

Charged with capturing the sparkling wit and magical music of the bygone supper clubs, the Martinis at the Martin series is staged in Ravinia’s Martin Theatre, the historic building that dates back to the park’s original 1904 construction. It’s been called one of the best places in Chicago to hear intimate performances. Martinis will be served outside the theater.
