"The Factotum"

Loosely inspired by the popular opera The Barber of Seville and its iconic aria "Largo al factotum,” this new production at the Harris Theater follows brothers Mike and Garby as they clash over the future of their family’s barbershop on Chicago’s South Side. The Factotum blends classical singing with diverse musical styles to create a soul opera, shifting from gospel and funk to rap and hip-hop to classic barbershop quartet and R&B.
