STARRING MEGAN MULLALLY AND NICK OFFERMAN
A musical 40,000 years in the making.
Broadway’s brightest star of 1938, Vera Vimm (Megan Mullally/Will & Grace), is at the top of her game. But when she adopts a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal discovered frozen in the Arctic, the spotlight begins to shift. As Iceboy thaws, he unexpectedly becomes a theatrical sensation, inspiring the “father of the American drama” Eugene O’Neill (Nick Offerman/Parks and Recreation) and challenging his legendary mother for center stage. It’s All About Eve….if only Eve was a caveman.
Casting note: Shawn Pfautsch will appear as Eugene O’Neill, the role typically played by Nick Offerman, at the June 20, 21, 23 and 24 performances.

About this event
Iceboy! The Musical at The Goodman Theatre is featured on the Project Awaken Get Active calendar as part of adaptive sports, recreation, arts, and community programming for people with disabilities across Chicagoland. Project Awaken brings together listings from trusted Chicago-area partners so people with spinal cord injuries, mobility disabilities, and visual impairments can find welcoming ways to get active, connect with others, and try something new.
Events like this typically welcome participants of varying abilities along with their families, friends, sighted guides, and volunteers, and many are free to attend. If you are new to adaptive sports or recreation, it helps to reach out to the host organization ahead of time with any access questions, ask whether specialized equipment is provided, and bring a companion if that makes you more comfortable. Taking that first step — showing up, asking, trying — is what getting active is all about.
Please confirm the date, time, location, cost, and any registration requirements on the official event or organizer page before attending, as details can change. To find more opportunities, explore our full events calendar, browse Get Active grants and resources, or join the Get Connected peer-support community.
