Three routes to Titanic fun in the Chicago area
Folks who loved the Titanic exhibit at Old Orchard last year can embark on more nautical disaster-themed fun this spring.
The big picture: Fans can pair a Titanic dinner and show at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, which is presenting "Titanic The Musical," along with themed meals at sister restaurant Three Embers.
Or stay in town for the musical spoof "Titanique" by Porchlight Music Theatre at Water Tower Place.
Dig in: For the run of "Titanic The Musical," Three Embers has transformed into the White Star Grill, serving period dishes including chicken Lyonnaise ($29) topped with caramelized onion in a wine reduction.
"We took that directly from the first-class Titanic menu," restaurant manager Tiffany Javior tells Axios. "For dessert, we have peaches with chartreuse jelly. It's one of my favorites, because it's light, but it's still rich."
Other Titanic items include steak & ale pies ($15) and salmon mousseline ($36).
They also offer a three-course meal for $49 and a dinner theater package that starts at $81.
Bonus: The restaurant brims with social media-friendly props, letting you goof around and pretend you're really on a ship.
On stage: After dinner, folks can catch the accompanying show featuring spectacular period costumes and a solid musical cast.
But don't be like me and search for Jack and Rose. The musical features many cute couples but is unrelated to the blockbuster movie.
For Titanic laughs, check out Porchlight's" Titanique" in which a Celine Dion-like character purports to tell the ship's real story through her iconic songs.

Edinburgh man's touching tribute for best pal after his unexpected death at 38
An Edinburgh man has reached his fundraising target as he prepares to take on a gruelling charity in memory of his friend who passed away almost seven-months-ago. Joseph Coghill, 40, from Morningside will be embarking on a 200-mile walk to raise funds for charities close to his late friends heart - DJ Jackmaster. Jack Revill was in an Ibiza hospital for two days before his death at the age of 38 back in October. He suffered an accidental head injury, with his family sharing an emotional post on Instagram. READ MORE: Edinburgh school friends hail 'kind and charming sportsman' after tragic passing READ MORE: Man who knew Madeleine McCann suspect makes dramatic plea to police during search Seven months later, Joseph described Jack as a man with a 'heart of gold who would do anything to help anyone'. In 2022, Jack completed the Edinburgh Half Marathon - raising funds for We Are With You - an organisation that helps people affected by drugs, alcohol and mental health problems, as well as Endometriosis UK. Now, Joseph will be raising funds for the same charities in his honour. Embarking on the journey on June 12, the 40-year-old has gone sober and gave up drugs and alcohol after his friends death. Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Joseph said: "Jack was a huge part of my self-belief and my career. When I met him, I was working in Glasgow and jack knew he was always going to be a DJ - he had the confidence, the swagger and the full package really. "It's been around seven months since he died and it's awfully sad what happened. I am actually sober - I don't drink or do drugs anymore since he died. I still have a sense of anxiety and sadness but I am trying to use that energy to do something positive. "I am just trying to remember his life and not focus too much on the negative things. He was so fun and charming - he had a real heart of gold. "He was so generous and if you needed something he would always be there to help you."

He added: "I am so happy that I have been able to raise a substantial amount of money - I am still fundraising because I haven't left yet. "It's so incredible, but I think I will be able to raise more. It's definitely been a lot of hard work on my end with the training and things but I am super amazed that I have been able to make this point Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sentstraight to your messages.

Coronation Street legend accidentally reveals Emmerdale crossover spoiler
A Coronation Street legend seems to have accidentally revealed a major Emmerdale crossover episode spoiler, which is set to air next year. Jack P Shepherd who has played the iconic character of mischievous David Platt since 2000 has teased he could be taking part in the Corrie and Emmerdale special. The Celebrity Big Brother winner appears to be the first soap star to "confirm" their involvement in the one-hour segment, announced by ITV last month. When catching up with Digital Spy at the British Soap Awards recently, Jack let slip the exciting news on the red carpet. When the actor was asked if he will be involved in the 'unprecedented' episode, which will see characters from both soaps come together in a celebration of the soap genre, he 'confidently' replied: "Yes!" But Jack's Weatherfield co-star Ben Price (David's brother Nick Tilsley), interrupted: "Are you meant to say that?" Jack responded: "I don't know!" Ben then advised his on-screen sibling not to give any details away, to which Jack continued: "I don't know if I am. Not for a fact, I don't. 'The big key hitters, I think they might have been told. There's rumours – and I'm sniffing that I might be in the periphery." He then joked: "With my Yorkshire accent. I think I'm in it, talking Yorkshire and they're like: 'Where are you from? Are you from Bradford?'" Jack's soap tease might be the news some viewers have been wanting for, as one posted on X: "corrie and emmerdale crossover episode. I need david platt & ross barton , charity & tracy , mandy & carla oh the possibilities." The "mash-up" of two of the nation's most beloved soaps is set to air on ITV next year and will be the first of its kind in British soap history. It will mark the broadcaster's new 'power hour' of soap which begins on ITV1 and STV in January 2026. ITV said the producers, scriptwriters and production teams have 'conceived an ingenious way of linking the two universes, but with characters then returning to the soaps they are renowned for inhabiting in Manchester and Yorkshire'. Recommended reading: Coronation Street star's future revealed after on-screen family axed from show Coronation Street star signs new ITV contract ahead of Emmerdale crossover Former Coronation Street star spotted working 'normal job' after being axed It explained: 'The episode will be self-contained, but the consequences of the high-stakes drama will have repercussions for both communities and see them linked forever as familiar faces depart and exciting new characters arrive into both soaps.' This month, Corrie and Emmerdale fans will be given the chance to vote for two characters (one from each soap) that they would like to see interact in a scene. Details will be launched in June via Coronation Street and Emmerdale's Instagram, Facebook and TikTok accounts, so keep an eye out if you want to get involved.

An Icebreaker gadget to ensure you'll always have fresh ice at your finger tips — simply fill it, pop it into the freezer, use the handles to crack the ice (once it has frozen, obvs) then pour the cubes directly into your drink!
