MEET THE CREATORS

Artists Lounge Live is created, produced, and curated by married team Michael Ingersoll and Angela Ingersoll. Both accomplished entertainers, they share a passion for music and its power to heal. Executive Producer Michael Ingersoll starred as Nick Massi of The Four Seasons in Jersey Boys, originating the Broadway Tour casts in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago, as well as performing the role on The Emmy Awards, The Tonight Show, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. He created retro-rock group Under the Streetlamp, headlining several PBS specials and touring internationally. Artistic Director Angela Ingersoll received an Emmy Award nomination for her performance in Get Happy: Angela Ingersoll Sings Judy Garland on PBS, now touring live nationwide. She starred onstage as Judy Garland in several productions of End of the Rainbow, receiving Chicago's Jeff Award, a BroadwayWorld Award, and Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year in Theatre. The couple live in Chicagoland with their two adopted cats and rescued retired racing greyhound.

"Nothing quite like this has happened before... A theater gets a revenue-producing show which they can slot between their mainstage productions when their space would otherwise be dark. Front-of-house staff get work. The bar buzzes. And, of course, the theater gets new people through the door."
-Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

"Artists Lounge Live revues provide dazzling entertainment while evoking fond memories among more mature theatergoers and introducing new audiences to the brilliance that makes these legendary performers stars."
-Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
