The Chicago Theatre

The Chicago Theatre, located in the heart of downtown Chicago, is one of the most historically and culturally significant theaters in the city. Hailed as the "Dream Palace of the American Musical," the theatre has served as home to thousands of Broadway-style musicals, plays, operas, films, and concerts since its opening in 1921. The ornate design of the theatre features a stunning entrance, a dominant lobby, two balconies, and grand auditorium seating for up to 3,600 people. It is one of the only remaining theaters which have been modeled after the classic European opera house style. The Chicago Theatre is a must-see destination while in the area, as it provides excellent views of downtown, the historic downtown area, and the unique style of its architecture.
