Music-filled adaptations of Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick are getting quite the attention this season. In addition to Dallas Opera's world premiere of composer Jake Heggie's opera adaptation, Chicago hosts a brand new version featuring puppet creations by Blair Thomas with music by singer/songwriter Michael Smith. This "In the Works" theater lab production of Moby Dick plays 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28, through Saturday, Jan. 30, on the stage of Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion, 205 E. Randolph. Tickets are $10; call 312-742-8497 or visit www.millenniumpark.org . Photo of Thomas with one of his creations in Moby Dick courtesy of the company
