The answer which I'll have to give away is Arlington Heights.

I've never been to a Cub's game and I'd love to visit all my Chi-town buddies.

Uh-oh, now the pressure's on!! LOL It was Martin Charnin, though - he wrote
the lyrics, with Charles Strouse writing the music, and Thomas Meehan on the
book. Extra trivia: did you know he was the original Big Deal in "West Side
Story?" Multi-talented!

She's the real deal TD!!! I tried to stump her in my "Stump the Musicals"
thread and she ended up stumping me.
I was thinking about her when I saw "Will and Grace" tonight. They were joking
about "Suessical Musical (sp?)". It was funny - you had to be there.
You, me, and Liz have GOT to check out a show sometime. I could definantly use
her technical expertise on such things.
