There’s plenty to do this week. Here’s some of what we recommend:
Through 7/10: The funky, florid SpongeBob Musical is running through July 10. Reader reviewer Dan Jakes writes that “even the most generic show tunes are well-executed toe tappers. The real heart of the show, though, is its spectacular design—the Rube Goldberg “volcano debris” machines are a hoot.” Wed 2 and 7:30 PM, Thu-Fri 7:30 PM, Sat 2 and 8 PM, Sun 2 PM, Tue 7:30 PM
Thu 6/30: Alternative, Dada-ist jazz artists Jaap Blonk, Fred Lonberg-Holm, and Tim Daisy headline Elastic’s (3429 W. Diversey) Thursday evening jazz event in their first ever concert together. Reader reviewer Bill Meyer writes of Blonk that “the core of his work is in sound poetry, a Dada-derived medium in which vocalizations are deployed to confound rather than convey meaning.” 9 PM
