Dinner & A Show

Rok Brigade
Presented by United Talent. Rok Brigade is a Def Leppard Tribute band, based in Chicago, IL. Formed in the summer of 2018, six friends, all in well-established, working cover bands, decided to put together a Def Leppard Tribute Band. They wanted to cover their favorite songs from the band's extensive catalog, focusing primarily on the first six albums. Def Leppard's infectious melodies, heavy guitars, pounding drums and layered harmonies combined perfectly to give us some of the greatest rock anthems of the 1980's. Authenticity is extremely important to them, so big stage props, intelligent lighting, and extra ramps and risers are all part of their show. Reproducing this live convincingly, may not be easy, but Rok Brigade does it better than just about anyone, except maybe Def Leppard.

Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing-something strange and different-about this pretty princess. He likes her. He likes her a lot, but why does she always run off when the sun sets? Shrek is the perfect addition to your Spring Break vacation!
