NEW musical Alert! 🚨 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲, the musical will be debuting in the U.S. in Chicago from February 19th - March 15th.

Today media gathered with the production team lead, Emmy and Tony award-winning actor and producer, 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫. We had a Q&A with the cast and team and got to watch a beautiful musical number.

@Bernadettethemusical, is the story of an innocent, uneducated, peasant farm girl who is visited by a mysterious, beautiful lady who is only visible to herself. The lady continues to visit Bernadette, always leaving her with inexplicable feelings of peace, serenity and love, and setting off a turn of events that cannot be explained. Tickets are on sale now and more details on the blog (Link in Bio)

I love unique experiences. Have you heard of the Ammortal Bio-Energectic Therapy Chamber? It’s a futuristic treatment that blends light, sound, vibration, and guided meditation into one deeply immersive, restorative experience. There’s only 19 of these machines in the U.S. and each machine costs approximately $159,000.

The Chamber is already popular with elite athletes and performance driven professionals. It’s designed to support:
- Faster muscle and injury recovery
- Stress and burnout management
- Deeper sleep and nervous system regulation
- Improved mood, mental clarity, and energy without medication or invasive treatments.

Thanks @practice.eastend for having me. I’m sharing more details on the blog. (link in bio). @Ammortal_Official

I went to @Olioepiu Chicago last night and I had to get the tableside Cacio e Pepe. We added shrimp and it was delicious! I also recommend grabbing the Parmigiana Di Melanzane for an appetizer. AND if you still need plans for Thanksgiving day… Olio is open. ☺️🍝
