Dixie Theatre: Route 66

Often called “America’s Main Street”, U.S. Route 66 is a retro-fantasyland of art deco motels, roadside attractions, Indian trading posts, novelty drive-ins and old-fashioned spit-and-polish service stations. You can drive from Chicago to Los Angeles in about thirty-one hours - if you stick to the interstates, that is. However, for the road warrior who isn’t in a hurry, a cruise along old Route 66 can be an unforgettable journey – one with surprises beyond every curve. Now, a new musical comedy comes to town – Route 66, by Roger Bean – that celebrates the golden era of the quirky old highway.
 
Route 66 leads the audience along the great “Mother Road” in a nostalgic celebration of music and highway fun.
