- No performances occur on December 24, 25, or 31, 2026, so holiday-week showtimes should be confirmed with the box office before booking.
- Christmas weekend (December 26–27) and the final days of the run (December 28–30) show the clearest demand spike, with inventory moving faster than midweek shows.

## December Window And Surrounding Dates

The OnesToWatch Live feed focuses on December 16–30. Dates before December 16 and after December 30 fall outside that window, so check the Apollo Theater box office or its official Ticketmaster listing for those performances.

The full announced run spans August 20, 2026 through January 3, 2027. Performances continue into January, with shows listed on January 1, 2, and 3 on third-party calendars. Holiday-week dates such as December 24, 25, and 31 appear as dark on some listings, so confirm those specific days directly with the box office.

## Patterns In The December Schedule

Three patterns in the December 2026 schedule help readers choose a date with more confidence.

First, the December calendar builds on a standard weekly pattern with a few targeted changes. [Beginning Sept. 22, 2026, the standard week runs Tuesday through Friday evenings at 7:30 PM, Saturday at 2:30 PM and 7:30 PM, and Sunday at 2:30 PM](https://chicagoreader.com/performing-arts/theater/theater-review/vape-the-grease-parody-apollo-theater/). Before September 20, the schedule used Thursday and Friday evenings instead of Tuesday through Friday. December adjusts that base with added Monday shows on December 21 and 28 and an added Wednesday matinee on December 30. December 17 also carries a special Thursday matinee at 2:30 PM, one of only six added matinees in the entire run. Audiences planning around a specific time of day should verify their date directly with the [Apollo Theater box office](https://apollochicago.com/project/vape) rather than relying on a single aggregator.

Second, public date lists diverge on holiday-period performances. [Chicago-theater.com’s December 2026 calendar lists performances on December 24 and 31](https://chicago-theater.com/shows/apollo-chicago/vape-the-grease-parody/tickets/calendar), while [ChicagoShowGuide](https://chicagoshowguide.com/show/vape-the-grease-parody) lists no performances on those dates. The most reliable step before booking holiday travel is to confirm with the box office at 773-935-6100 or via the official Ticketmaster listing.

Third, Christmas weekend and the final week of December show the strongest demand. Christmas Day 2026 falls on a Friday, which creates a three-day holiday weekend through Sunday, December 27. Both December 26 and 27 carry two performances each, and December 28–30 close out the OnesToWatch Live window. Inventory on those dates moves faster than midweek shows.

## Practical Reader Guidance

Once you have a date, the logistics for seeing Vape! The Grease Parody in Chicago are straightforward.

[Vape! The Grease Parody runs approximately 85–90 minutes with no intermission, and the show’s official FAQ lists the running time as 85 minutes](https://vapethemusical.com/faq/). It is recommended for ages 13 and older because the humor leans heavily on sexual comedy. The pre-show atmosphere matches that tone; BroadwayWorld notes high school gym banners on the theater walls and a pop playlist while audiences settle in.

The Apollo Theater sits at 2550 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago, IL 60614, in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. Time Out Chicago lists CTA access via the Brown, Purple (rush hours), and Red Line trains to Fullerton station, along with buses 8, 11, and 74. [The Apollo Theater does not offer on-site parking; nearby garages and lots such as Lincoln Common Garage, about an 8-minute walk away, and a valet-assisted attended lot next to the theater provide paid options](https://parkmobile.io/parking/locations/il/chicago-parking/destination/apollo-theater).

[Vape! The Grease Parody is a comedic spoof of the musical Grease, written by Catie Hogan with the Sketchworks Comedy collective (Leanna Adams, John D. Babcock III, Casey Holloway, Julie Shaer, and Brian Troxell), with lyrics and additional book by Billy Recce and Danny Salles, and directed by Jack Plotnick](https://vapethemusical.com/). The show premiered in Atlanta in 2018 and later survived a legal challenge when the Southern District of New York ruled it a protected parody. That ruling cleared the way for an Off-Broadway run in New York before the Chicago engagement. [Buzz Center Stage](https://buzznews.net/theatre/now-playing/item/6555-vape-the-grease-parody-opens-at-chicago-s-apollo-theater-aug-20.html) quotes director Jack Plotnick: “After a fantastic Off-Broadway run in New York, I’m especially excited to bring Vape! to a great comedy town like Chicago, in the wonderfully intimate Apollo Theater.” The [Chicago Reader](https://chicagoreader.com/performing-arts/theater/theater-review/vape-the-grease-parody-apollo-theater) has published a full review of the production.

[Standard seats for Vape! The Grease Parody are priced $45–$65, with Pink Lady Premium Seating starting at $85, and all prices are all-in with ticketing fees included](https://vapethemusical.com/faq/). Discounted tickets are available through [HotTix](https://hottix.org/shows/apollo-theater/vape-the-grease-parody) by entering the code HOTTIX at Ticketmaster checkout. [For groups of 8 or more, Vape! The Grease Parody directs bookings to Group Tix & Tours at (312) 423-6612 or by email at tami@grouptixandtours.com](https://vapethemusical.com/faq/). Ticketmaster sales are generally final, with refunds allowed in limited circumstances such as when an event is canceled, and exchanges available for certain events subject to Event Organizer policies. Confirm your date and showtime with the Apollo Theater box office at 773-935-6100 before purchasing.
