Chicago, IL — Get ready to hum, laugh, and reminisce. Cabaret entertainer Jefferey Cooke, joined by musical director Chuck Larkin, returns to the Gateway Theater Annex at The Copernicus Center with an allnew, joypacked production: “TV Theme Song Cabaret!” on Saturday, August 29th, 2026.
This onenightonly celebration dives into the unforgettable world of television theme songs—the ones we grew up with, the ones we sang without realizing it, and the ones forever etched into our collective memory. From children’s classics and sitcom staples to dramatic themes, commercial jingles, and even charttopping hits, Cooke brings them all back to life with humor, heart, and a few surprises.
Audiences can expect: • Hidden verses and rarely heard lyrics • Clever lampoons and playful twists • Instrumental themes that secretly had lyrics • A rousing singalong section guaranteed to shake the room
With no drink minimum and a full bar available, guests can settle in and enjoy a night of nostalgia, laughter, and community. The venue is easily accessible via the Blue Line (Jefferson Park stop), the 81 Lawrence bus, and offers abundant free parking. Show run is 8pm–9:45pm.
