Alderman wants to keep 'Jersey Boys' smoking

Downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) wants to follow the lead of his vanquished opponent, Burt Natarus, by exempting live theater from Chicago's smoking ban.
Reilly said he would introduce the amendment at Wednesday's City Council meeting and push for speedy passage to allow the Chicago production of "Jersey Boys" to put cigarettes back into the hands of actors playing Frankie Valli and the boys.
