The Chicago Theater

The Chicago Theater is one of Chicago's most iconic landmarks. Located on State Street in the center of Chicago's famed Loop area, the theater is a shining example of the glamour and grandeur of the 1920s and 1930s. Originally opened in 1921, the theater is a blend of classic European baroque and rococo styles, featuring intricate plasterwork, detailed murals, and an ornate lobby. Though it was recently renovated to retain its original splendor, the theater still hosts top comedians and musical acts and is home to the legendary 200-voice Chicago Theater Chorus. Inside, visitors will find a beautifully maintained auditorium, which features a grand stage and seating for 2,411 capacity audiences. Experience the charm, beauty, and history of this architectural gem in the heart of downtown Chicago.
