Lincolnshire Marriott Resort in Lake County is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the Marriott Theatre’s production of the musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” which runs Feb. 5 through March 30.

In honor of the milestone anniversary, the theatre is debuting a rotating pop-up experience at its Three Embers Restaurant. Each pop up will be an extension of the current stage production at the theatre, transporting guests to another realm while enjoying a themed food and beverage menu led by the restaurant’s culinary team.

The pop-up experience will kick off with Joseph’s Dream Grill, to mirror “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

The restaurant will replicate the world of “Joseph” with stunning aesthetics bringing it to amazing technicolor life. Dreamy lanterns and a starlit framed screen will play immersive visuals for guests to dine back in time, with a special photo opportunity for diners to commemorate their experience.

Palm trees and brightly adorned fabrics will fill the restaurant, where guests can indulge in a specialty themed menu. Led by Chef de Cuisine Jonathon Silver, featured pre-fixe menu items will include the Nile Red Lentil Soup, with herb oil and micro cilantro; Joseph’s Beef Schwarma, with Roz Bel Shareya, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and tahini; along with a specialty “Fit for a King” raisin cake dessert. The pre-fixe menu will be served alongside Three Ember’s Main Menu that also has Joseph-themed dishes such as the Pharoah’s Memphis Style BBQ pizza and the Wood Fired Shrimp Creole.

“Ever since March 26, 1975, the Marriott Lincolnshire Resort has been honored to host over 4 million guests, over 3,000 weddings, and play over 1 million games of golf on Crane’s Landing golf course, while the Marriott Theatre has presented over 250 main stage productions and 100 Theatre for Young Audience productions. We continue to innovate and are elated to share this exciting new popup experience at Three Embers,” General Manager Brad Lajoie said in a news release. “This will allow not only our theatre guests to fully immerse themselves in this one-of-a-kind dining experience, but our hotel and local guests from the Lincolnshire area can also enjoy a unique and transformed space.”

The first of five popups this year, Joseph’s Dream Grill will be open five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday, from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. throughout the run of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” To book your reservation at Joseph’s Dream Grill today, please visit threeembersrestaurant.com or call 847-634-0100.
