BWW Exclusive: I LOVE LUCYÂ's Sirena Irwin Talks Doing Justice to the Legendary Redhead

“We may not solve the problem of poverty, but it means a lot to give joy to people.”

And through Lucy Ricardo, Irwin has been able to provide just that to Chicago audiences.

“[The show] is a love letter to the original I LOVE LUCY, for most people," she said, ecstatic that the show has extended its stay, and in effect, the joy it can bring to Chicagoans. "And for those who didn’t grow up with it, a glimpse back in time.”

I LOVE LUCY: LIVE ON STAGE is currently running at Chicago's Broadway Playhouse, located at Water Tower Place, through Nov. 11. It will return for a second extended engagement on Dec. 29, 2012, and play through March 3, 2013. Tickets range from $35–$85. A select number of premium seats are also available. Tickets for groups of 10+ start at $25 and can be purchased by calling 312-977-1710. Tickets are available at all Broadway In Chicago Box Offices and online.
