Ribs -- Carson's, though if you want to take a walk on the wild side you might try Harold's down in Hyde Park (1208 E 53rd St.)
Theater -- check out chicagoplays.com for the league of chicago theaters' listings. If you'll be downtown, you really can't go wrong with Chicago Shakespeare Theatre on Navy Pier. Unfortunately, it looks like their doing R&J. But it's the Chicago debut of Tony Award-nominated director Mark Lamos.
Live Music: Where do I start? Pick up a copy of the Chicago Reader, and take your pick.
Is Joe Segal's (spelling?) Jazz Showcase still open?
I'd echo the Navy Pier suggestion. There are lots of great indy theaters that do a wide variety of plays, but that might take you further from your hotel than you are to go.
"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting,
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine."
-- from "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver
