The (somewhat creepy) question “where do celebrities hang out in Chicago?” was asked here last week. The answer until November 7 is “on stage at the Goodman Theatre.”

I was Erica’s date last night to the opening of Finishing The Picture, a new Arthur Miller play. The play is a fictionalized account of the troubled production of The Misfits, screenwritten by Miller and starring his wife at the time, Marilyn Monroe. Evidently, she was pretty.

And you want celebs? Look at this cast list: Frances Fisher (Kate Winslet’s mom in Titanic), Scott Glenn (The Right Stuff), Stacy Keach (Titus‘ dad and Mike Hammer), Linda Lavin (Alice), Harris Yulin (Training Day) and Matthew Modine (Vision Quest). And Stacy Keach’s sister-in-law, Jane Seymour, was at the opening, too.
