A newly remodeled Chuck E. Cheese restaurant opened this week in Gage Park on Chicago’s Southwest Side, promising all the arcade games, screaming kids and pizza-fueled mayhem that parents have come to know and endure. The missing ingredient? The iconic animatronic house band, a larger-than-life, rodent-led ensemble that has performed nightly at the family entertainment chain for decades, has finally lost its gig. Once the main attraction, Munch’s Make Believe Band has been phased out at hundreds of Chuck E.
