Chicago Theatre Community Review

Lovely theater with an old vintage feel;the velvety seats were quite comfy and the beautiful chandeliers add a classy touch to the fine architecture. Staff members were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful theater. The balcony seating is rather steep making it feel awkward climbing the stairs. It was a little hard to understand what people on stage were saying but it may have just been the sound set up for the particular show. Their music had to much bass.

This seems to be the venue for nearly every show I attend lately. Granted, this is apparently due to the fact that the podcasting community has spread the word as to its quality.

Sound and sight lines are good, theater is clean and the ushers are helpful, polite and plentiful. Concessions are predictably expensive, but that seems to be any venue these days (at least they take cards).

Only negative is that the restrooms are limited and in need of modernization. Otherwise, a great venue.

The theatre was Beautiful and Al Green was spectacular

It's all about the experience. The beauty, the details, the reminiscent times of yesteryear.

To take all of the visual beauty in is to love this place. It's not about. The price of drinks or popcorn...it's about being in the moment and taking in an experience. The sound for shows here is crisp. Very intimate and enjoyable!

Beautiful building with some history. Have attended a few plays here and have not been disappointed.

Chicago landmark. Beautiful and a great theater to see great plays. It is worth visiting at night and seeing it illuminated.

Gorgeous. Great pre-sale deals for Chase card holders!

Beautiful, historic theater. With excellent pieces on display always.

One of The originals still standing not a bad seat in the house

I love the intimate feel of the Chicago Theater, the staff is wonderful!

They always have something going on here that I like. The only complaint I have with this place is if you're tall seating is tight. Other than that I recommend this place for their events.

The theater was amazing. I had not been there in aprox.62 years. Seeing it once again was a thrill.

Love the historic theater. Close Intimate concerts are the best.

Iconic and lovely. Attracts the best acts and good crowds.

Beautiful old theater. Completely not climate controlled. It was about 95 degrees inside the theater. Is impossible to enjoy the show because it was so damn hot.

This theater is beautiful and ornate. Is there a bad seat in the house? I think not.

Beautiful architecture, very ornate. Nostalgic feel.

Gorgeous theater and the live sound is amazing! Bartenders are smart & friendly - will be back!

Gorgeous theatre, seating was comfortable, acoustics worked well, staff was professional and prepared.

Moderately small venue with excellent sound and a great light show.

It's a beautiful theater, but it needs to be updated badly especially the bathrooms.

The show was excellent but the staff was extremely rude. One employee placed my party in a line to pick up our tickets but once we were inside, I was forcefully removed and told I would not be able to get my tickets without waiting in line again.

I use to work here in teenage years thoose was the best times of my life fro. The owners to the security off duty police officers big John Phillips sangaruldee mush Mike bosses mr Joe grossmoned big Jerry Robert Watkins house keeping miss kneoula concessions sahra lotsa fun memories from 1975 thur 1989 I met my girlfriend here as a doorman and mr shaeed khan Arab Mr Sam bublemen great to visits lotas wonderful people famous movies roger ebert

Such a beautiful venue but be aware that seating is tight.

Went to a 90s RB concert. The theater is downtown on State street, easy to see, challenging to get to because of traffic. Plenty of parking garages around there. The venue served drinks, and had several levels. I will go back again for another show there.

The history of Chicago. Its historic theater next to the Loop metro

Was very cool because of the history but the place was freezing due to the doors being open for entrance and exit at the end. Also maybe was just the guy in front of me but I couldn t angle myself to see the comedian so got pretty annoying after a while. Would like to do a tour probably gives a better experience and context of the building history.

The theater is incredible a bit old but functional, I'm a fan of Madonna 20 years ago and is a sad girl who lost her shine, used to have magical and incredible shows but this show was the worst thing then I never seen, it became more political and boring , much talk little show, the truth leaves much to be desired in my way of seeing things deviated from being a great talent now just talk and talk and the truth is not what I came to see, this is very very particular point of view.

Great place to see a show! And super easy to get to!

I love this venue. It's a smaller venue which makes it more personal. The architecture is awesome. All around a great place to see a show. I have been there a couple times never had a bad seat.

I went there to see Jordan Peterson. The best experience ever, powerful place and person at the same time.

The "Dancing Dolls" were fabulous
Coach "D" was in rare form!! LOVED IT. The theater is old an every seat is not a good seat, choose wisely. The

My son & I recently went to the Chicago Theatre to see Daniel Tosh, totally loved the atmosphere and overall appearance of the theatre. Totally loved the blast from the past era with a new age twist look the theatre had. I love looking at pictures of how buildings looked in their original design so I was in heaven on y'all lower level looking at the pictures from yesteryear I even been to alot of those places in my childhood, just being there and looking at those pictures made my day. Tosh picked the perfect place to have his show.

I recently saw Beautiful at the The Chicago Theatre in Hollywood. It was a wonderful venue and the seats were good. The production was great with fantastic actors and dancers.

The theater is mid sized but it makes the show that much more engaging. Lots of restaurants in the area will do some kind of special when you do a show on a week day

Enjoyed seeing Kathleen Madigan at this beautiful theater

This is my favorite theater in Chicago for many reasons!

First it is iconic on State Street. It just glows and sparkles for everyone to see. It also is a great place to take a photo. Get a photo here and no one will say to you, "So where was this taken?"

Second, there have been some amazing shows here too. And these shows range from musicals to magic shows to rock concerts.

Some of my favorite shows here have been:
The Gypsy Kings - They rocked out the stage. It seemed like there were 15 guys playing acoustic guitar and the lights were flashing and everyone was dancing on there seats. The theater was full of amazing happy energy.
David Copperfield - Disappeared from stage and appeared in the middle of theater on a motorcycle. I know it is all and illusion but that was really incredible to see.
Donnie Osmond in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" - honestly I think that show ran for like 10 years. It was the show that electrified the city and brought back real broadway shows to Chicago. Donnie owned the city and could do no wrong.

So that is my short list of some of the amazing acts and talents I have seen here and I know there are many more shows to see. New York has Broadway but I hate to tell them Chicago has Broadway too!

Loved the show..loved they provide handicapped restroom and did not let able people in front of those who need help..impressive!!!

I've been to this theatre for several show's over the years
First - the theater itself is beautiful!
It's small enough that any seat is a good one and the acoustics are really great!

Food was good but service was lacking a bit this time.

I absolutely love the Chicago Theatre. It is a great venue to go see any show whether it's music a play or even Paw Patrol with your kids.

I seen two cellos play here and it was the perfect venue for that show.

Very excited to go see Bill Burr there in November.

What a beautiful building inside and out. So much character. Our guide was well versed in the history and easy to understand.

Historic, great shows here all the time. Can't go wrong.

Definitely a memory to remember. Beautiful city with many options for any specific taste, lights are sharp, people were pleasant, I couldn't ask for more because it really did work out perfectly!

Spacious seating for an old theater. Loved the experience

Beautiful ,the staff was courteous, acoustics great it was really a wonderful experience

The kids loved paw patrol and the food was reasonable, very surprising!!!!

Must see inside to truly appreciate. Take a tour - the organ is so amazing! Such an incredible history, so beautiful. I can only imagine how neat it would be to see a concert or other event here. Be sure to check it out, even if you're not into theater.

I'm a tall guy, so I get cramped when I go here. But otherwise a classic Chicago institution.

My favorite venue in Chicago. Great views of stage from most seats. Easy parking options.

It's a gem on the Chicago theater scene, a fantastic venue for the performing arts!

Didn't go here for a show, but it's a very iconic place to take a photo if you're in Chicago.

Beautiful, but like everything downtown it is very spendy

Was here for LoL worlds. Amazing service, beautiful theater... A little pricey but that's expected.

This place is magnificent. it has so much history. I love how awesome and grand it is . I love the performances at it. it is awesome beyond all belief.

Very iconic place! But needs better and comfortable seats and more controling to those people to stand in front of people and block the views to other.
The empmoyees who take guest to their seats should remind them to seat down..just a rminder, it's not a rave.
Bathrooms should have an attendant to keep the place cleaner, disinfected, spray it around, line up please.
People pay a lot of money to see a show confortable..by the time shows are over we come out feels like we had a mild stroke and smelling like farts and yellow face with hepatitis.. Clean up, light bulbs out on the marquee..line up. We got there, we were not even greeted.
We got scanned by this unfriendly transgender with shehe looked like a troll. Sorry, they still need to be more friendly regardless of gender please..
Thank you..

Gorgeous theater with lovely staff members. Such a great part of Chicago history!

It's fancy. Parking is incredibly expensive, though. Recommend taking CTA and walking
