Drury Lane Theater (Oakbrook Terrace, IL) Theater

Unlike London’s centuries-old Drury Lane Theatre from which it borrows its name, Oakbrook Terrace’s Drury Lane Theatre is a product of 1984. Located half an hour west of the city, Drury Lane Theatre is the last one standing of a chain of Chicagoland dinner theater venues.

Though the building also serves as a convention center and private event hall, Drury Lane Oakbrook is mostly known for its 971-seat theater. Shows at Drury Lane place a strong emphasis on music and the theater typically uses local acting talent to make Broadway hits, from The Sound of Music to Monty Python’s Spamalot, work on a smaller scale. All seats in the chandelier-lit theater are on the main floor.

Drury Lane Theatre has a restaurant and lounge on site, and dinner packages are available with theater tickets. The dining room operates as a full-service restaurant for the general public and is a popular Sunday brunch spot. The cocktail lounge allows table reservations for intermission cocktails.
