It’s been more than a decade since Chicago Children’s Theatre presented Goodnight Moon, the popular musical about a bunny who doesn’t want to go to bed, based on the beloved picture book by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrator Clement Hurd.
But this Spring, Bunny is coming back to Chicago Children’s Theatre in an all-new way. This time, to celebrate the company’s 20th Anniversary season finale, Bunny will be “in the house.”
CCT’s 20th Anniversary production of Goodnight Moon will feature an all-new, immersive scenic design that will invite audiences for a primary-colored play date right inside Bunny’s bedroom. There, on an environmental set, both kids and parents will enjoy catchy songs, delightful dancing, the humorous antics of a very nocturnal bunny, and the quiet poetry of the iconic tale.
Immerse YOUR family in the world of Goodnight Moon. Public performances are April 11-June 7, 2026, Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.*
Tickets are $47.25 and on sale at chicagochildrenstheatre.org. Purchase early, as many shows will sell out. Goodnight Moon runs approximately 75 minutes. This show is recommended for all ages.
