Goodman Theatre, Next Theatre Company, and The Chicago Film Office Reviews

Great theatre! I've seen several plays there and most recently saw #AhWilderness

Marvelous performance by Brendan Coyle in St. Nicholas! The theater is conveniently near parking and public transportation.

Very clean, friendly environment. Great show Christmas Carol.

"Support Group for Men" was very interesting and well done. Funny!

Great stories, great performances, and very imaginative sets.

This is only the second time for me at Goodman. The first was a terrible experience. This time was far more worthwhile! Everyone was nice and accomodating. Hopefully the attitude will continue.

The Goodman is great for a different theater experience. They write and produce their own shows, so it's always something you've never seen before (unless of course you see their famous Christmas Carol). They do some pretty neat experimental shows using the set and the stage in ways I've never seen before!

If you are looking for stuff that isn't too mainstream then this is the theater to go to. They have great stuff and have a pulse on the social issues of the time, all of this without taking a specific stance on anything. Plus, the staff is friendly.

Great shows and view of the stage; check different websites to get cheaper prices since the prices tend to be significantly higher using their website

The quality of productions is always outstanding. And the building is one of my favorite theaters in the world! Modern. Comfortable. Great acoustics.

I just saw a Christmas Carol for the first time, it was amazing

A top regional theatre and a great artistic hub. Beautiful facility and good people.

Good sightlines to stage from all seats. Also good sound. Can be a little confusing to find your seat when sitting in the balcony, but ushers are helpful. Upscale restaurant is next door. Pretty good deli across the street. Close to public transit.

Helpful staff, and because it is a smaller more intimate theater, one has a good view from most seats. Also, parking is literally available across the street.

Saw a great show here! The lobby can definitely get a little cramped though.

Great shows! They have great teacher pds and family events. Call them adn get to know the great thing they do with the community. The ALICE is a collaborative space and so pretty to be in.

Wonderful Theater adventure. Professional atmosphere.

This was a great place to visit. And their plays are always wonderful.

Killer place to perform. Aaaaaaaaayyyyyyye like it.

Excellent theater offerings in the Chicago Loop. Consistently very good productions with occasional quite well-known performers, but even those lesser-known actors are often superb.

Excellent, have been a member for years, and have enjoyed all their plays.

Definitely not as festive as past years but still an enjoyable event.

Nice place, cozy. Every seat is good. Will come back.

Singing and performancewas great. Seating in my box seat was not okay, I could see only half of the stage.

Sophisticated downtown venue with top regional theater credentials. Always delivers well conceived productions but often lags behind leading edge of American stage.

Always enjoy performances at the Goodman Theatre. Exceptional Chicago institution.

Everyone who visit Chicago should go there. Upscale place

Wonderful performance venue! Great space, comfortable seats, many bar options, and I love the store in the lobby. I was traveling from out of town and came to see The Music Man (I love Mary Zimmerman!) and as always she does not disappoint.
I could imagine having a wedding or an event in the space as well, which is always good for a nonprofit theater space.

A Christmas Carol was great. Doubt there is a bad seat in the house.

Sunday evening show? Very very limited restaurant choices within walking distance of theater.

Love this place!
Cosy, cost food and music.

Life has not been lived until one has experienced the Goodman Theatre. Staff knows the best place about to eat.

Phenomenal theater. Staff is great, seats are great, environment is great! Love coming here during the holidays for a Christmas Carol.

Saw Father Comes Home From The Wars and it was truly a 5 Star experience in theatre!

Caught a front row seat to a holiday showing, great theatre. Snacks and wine are available as well.

A Christmas Carol was enjoyed by all including our 2 boys age 7 and 10.

It's a beautiful theater and the staff is amazing. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful performance, terrific ambiance, and a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

As a season subscriber, I've seen many, many great works of art here. Rarely disappointed. Today's performance of "Enemy of the People" was timely! The entire cast was superb!

Amazing performance of Pulitzer winning play "Sweat"

The play was uplifting and informative it was amazing play

Loved the beautiful theatre. Watched the moving play "Teddy Ferrara" here a few years ago. Directed by Evan Cabnet

They have wonderful thought-provoking shows with extremely creative sets.

Saw the excellent performance of Music Man. Theater is comfortable, sight lines are good, and acoustics are excellent. Plenty of ushers around to answer questions and point guests in the right direction.

Wonderfully done performance and theater is awesome. Not a bad seat in the house.

Absolutely the best!
We visiting all their new plays.
I recommend to anyone!

We were in box seats on the third floor on the east side of the theater so whole play took place in a bar scene the bar scene was on the east side of the theater we could not see the bar from where we were sitting only when the actors ran out into the middle of the floor could we see them the hearing was excellent but could not see the play those are the worst seats in the world if the main action is going to take part on the east side of the theater you cannot see that from the box seats on the third floor so I think the play was probably very very good because I've had other friends that I've seen it and really enjoyed it I didn't enjoy it because of the seats that we win when we complained about it we were given a chance to move to any seats that were available but if anybody came in and said those were their sheets we had to move and of course we didn't want to do that and it was three of us so this was not a good experience this particular time but I have been there countless of times countless of plays and I have never never had an experience like this so I will tell anybody that's thinking about going please go to any of the play that I had to Goodman Theater if you get the box seats you must inquire about how the stage is being set up so you will be able to see well that's about it enjoy yourself

This was my first time going to theater and I had an amazing time. Christmas Carol was great and acting was on point. Definitely going again and highly recommended.

Amazing experience. The theater was sized perfectly to ensure everyone had a great seat for a full experience.

The Goodman Theatre can be counted on for thought provoking plays with strong actors.

Awesome people who work there, wonderful energy and right prices
