In a Nutshell

With wigs, ‘80s clothing, and spot-on vocal imitations, this internationally touring Journey tribute rocks audiences with all the hits

The Fine Print

A good impersonation can be indistinguishable from the real thing, which is why Method actors are no longer allowed to play dictators. Take in a safer form of imitation with this GrouponLive deal to see Journey Unauthorized at Akoo Theatre at Rosemont. For $15, you get one ticket for main-floor seating in rows A–W or AA–HH on Friday, October 19, at 7:30 p.m. (up to a $34.80 value, including all fees). Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Steve Perry is never coming back. It’s a fact of life that many Journey fans have learned to cope with while they cuddle up with their worn-out copy of Escape. Filling the void that Steve left with flashy fun and feathery wigs, Journey Unauthorized carries the torch of sentimentality in its energized and dedicated tribute to the arena-rock legends. Mirroring the look and bombast of Journey in its 1980s heyday, the dedicated tribute band takes fans on a sojourn through the greatest hits of the Steve Perry era in an act that has tickled fans pink across the globe. The song list timewarps to the golden days of shoulder pads and leopard prints as the band loves, touches, and squeezes out all the greatest hits. Lighter drainers such as “Don’t Stop Believin’” make audiences get out of the way of people named “Believin’,” whereas “Any Way You Want It” shakes hips and gets feet moving. Journey Unauthorized keeps the “Wheel in the Sky” turning between rockers and ballads such as “Faithfully” and “Open Arms” as the leviathan Steve Perry surrogate achieves Perry’s notoriously difficult range.

The Rosemont Theatre

The Rosemont Theatre continues to beckon concertgoers and entertainment seekers to its sprawling stage. Disney shows such as Phineas and Ferb share the roster with Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance, Elvis tributes, and Johnny Mathis concerts.

The Groupon Guide to: a Unique Wedding

Your wedding should be a reflection of every aspect of your personality and a definitive way to prove to your cousins that you are interesting. Here are some suggestions for making your wedding an original, spectacular, lovetastic journey:

  • Mason jars instead of champagne flutes

  • You're not the kind of person who would want a cake like everyone else's, so make the cake out of grilled steaks and have the frosting be mashed potatoes.

  • You won't want gifts, so just have a station where people can write short works of magical realist fiction about you and your fiancé.

  • Instead of a ring bearer, use a trained miniature horse. He hands out pamphlets about a charity working to save a rare breed of sparrows that are going extinct on Georgia farms.

  • Tables are boring, but piles of freshly cut firewood aren't.

  • Replace the guests with glass orbs full of water and rose petals. Replace your fiancé with a scarecrow made of your mom's vintage scarves.

Where is the best local farm to find a ring bearer?
