The great Russian clown Slava Polunin—a veteran of Cirque de Soleil—headlines Slava’s Snowshow, a wordless world of allegories, music, little dances and sad-sack moments that culminates in a huge blizzard engulfing the entire audience. Slava’s Snowshow, a work of spectacle theater, has been hailed in London, Sydney, Paris and Rome. For this engagement, the huge Chicago Theatre (State Street at Lake Street) utilizes only 1,100 seats all on the main floor. Slava’s Snowshow promises that everyone will get blown away! Through May 2; $39.50-$49.50; (312) 902-1500 (Ticketmaster).
