Metallica Invades Chicago
This past Monday evening, January 26th, Metallica performed in front of a full house at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont located just outside Chicago, Illinois. If you are a fan of the 80’s version of Metallica, this show was as good as it could have gotten. Not only did they play their newer songs from Death Magnetic, but they played duo’s of their older songs going from "Creeping Death" to "Ride the Lightning", "Sad But True" to "Enter Sandman", and then from "One" to "Master of Puppets".

Mamma Mia! is currently playing at Roosevelt University's Auditorium Theatre through September 28th and will undoubtedly have show goers tapping their feet...
