Aug. 10--I had "Chicago Fire" cast members sitting in front of me and "Empire" cast members sitting behind me Thursday at Cirque du Soleil's Kurios outside the United Center. While I was more interested in the show than the celeb sightings that night (I'm a big Cirque du Soleil fan), I did get a kick out of seeing the "Fire" actors and hearing the "Empire" actors dramatically react to what they were watching. Here are those sightings and a few more from around town:
- "Empire" co-stars Kaitlin Doubleday and Ta'Rhonda Jones and "Chicago Fire" co-stars Jesse Spencer, Eamonn Walker, Christian Stolte, Joe Minoso, Dora Madison Burge and Tony Ferraris attended Cirque du Soleil's Kurios. Minoso sat two rows in front of me and liked the show so much that he was the first person in the crowd to give it a much-deserved standing ovation.
