Earlier this week, we broke down some of the major line items in the $1.5 billion transit bill. However, we did not answer whether or not CTA and Metra fares were still planned to go up, given that the Regional Transportation Authority officials announced weeks ago that the expected 10% fare hikes were not contingent upon the final bill. We ask Block Club Chicago's Manny Ramos and Quinn Myers what we should expect at the farebox. Plus, the city wants to buy the downtown bus terminal, librarians denounce budget cuts, and the baby Bulls keep winning!  Good news: Deeply Rooted Dance Theater Want some more City Cast Chicago news?

Janusz Józefowicz, choreograf, reżyser, legenda teatru musicalowego w Polsce. Ale może za wcześnie na nazywanie go legendą? Na pewno legendarne jest to, że to on jest autorem tekstu słynnego „Rolowania” Nataszy Urbańskiej, to on wyhaczył na dyskotece tańczącego Michała Milowicza i to on pił z Rogerem Watersem z Pink Floyd. Ile jeszcze opowieści skrywają początku musicalu w Polsce? Dlaczego Edyta Górniak zapomniała przyjść na spektakl i nie miała z tego tytułu żadnych konsekwencji? Czy Paweł Kukiz dobrze poradził sobie na castingu do „Metra”? Rozmawiamy również o lędzinach (a może rędzinach?), słynnych filmach, w jakich zagrał i niezwykłych podróżach, jakie odbył (naprawdę brzmią jak opis filmu akcji). Kim byłby Janusz Józefowicz, gdyby nie obejrzał filmu „Hair” Miloša Formana? Tego się nie dowiemy. Ale kim jest człowiek, który stworzył w Polsce pierwszy teatr musicalowy?
