Nitti’s Supper Club: Chicago Mobster Speakeasy Dinner Show

Step inside landmark building of Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse in River North, once owned by infamous Chicago mobster Frank Nitti, and travel back in time for dinner and a show based on the real-life murder of Eddie O'Hare. This irreverent comedy features an ensemble cast of characters, many of whom walked the very halls of 33 W. Kinzie back when Nitti called it home. The immersive experience invites you to step into the role of partygoer at Frank Nitti's birthday, and delve into the unsolved murder of Edward J. "Easy Eddie" O'Hare -- Al Capone's lawyer and father of war hero Butch O'Hare for whom the airport is named. The crime was never solved, but suspects included Frank Nitti, his wife Annette, Al Capone and several others. Can you crack the case? The interactive show is filled with historical anecdotes, laughs, audience interaction and toe-tapping musical productions.
