We look forward to Teatro ZinZanni continuing to engage visitors from all over the world with their distinctive blend of music, cirque, comedy, and food."

Teatro ZinZanni is also thrilled to announce its new presenting series, Club ZinZanni. This series will run in conjunction with TZ's signature show and highlight the best of Chicago, national, and international talent – from music to drag to comedy to magic to cirque, Club ZinZanni will bring it all to this great city. All events will take place in Teatro ZinZanni's antique Spiegeltent on the 14th floor of the Cambria Hotel with food and refreshments available for most shows.

Club ZinZanni will debut with “THE COMPARABLE DINA MARTINA" on May 21 at 7pm. The legendary Dina Martina will bring her signature surreal comedic experience full of song and story to the Spiegeltent for one night only. The Atlantic raves: “[Martina is] comic genius. I’ve never seen anything as brilliant or as funny as Dina.” Since 1989, Miss Martina has been packing houses throughout the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. and has shared the bill with Margaret Cho, Alan Cumming, Justin Vivian Bond, and Bridget Everett. She has received The Stranger Genius Award for Theater, two Seattle Times Footlight Awards, a nomination for The Alpert Award for Theater, and two nominations for GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding Off-Off Broadway Show. Tickets are currently on sale.

Chicagoans have truly embraced the unique blend of cirque, comedy, and fine dining that defines the Teatro ZinZanni experience,” said Norm Langill, Producer of Teatro ZinZanni. “The vibrant energy and cultural richness of this city make it an ideal home for our signature show and our new Club ZinZanni series. We are proud to be a part of this dynamic city and look forward to continuing to bring joy and wonder to its residents and visitors.”
