The Chicago Theatre

The Chicago Theatre is legendary, iconic and encapsulates all things Chicago. From the grand stage to the regal art displayed on its ceilings, The Chicago Theatre is a must see to any new in the city, or just for a fun night out! The Chicago Theatre hosts many types of events, from plays to comedy nights to renowned performers such as Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, and the list goes on. I luckily had the pleasure of being inside the Chicago Theatre not too long ago. This Spring 2013 I graduated from Columbia College Chicago out of the Chicago Theatre. It was an amazing experience. The plush chairs, the the larger than life theatre and the big band shell made it all a dream come true. Every Chicago Theatre Experience is sure to be a great one.

Question: What do all these people have in common? Charlie Sheen, Janet Jackson, Drake, Conan , Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj & Dave Koz. Answer: They all performed at The Chicago Theater Since 1921, the Chicago Theater has been a must see landmark for tourist & travelers. Millions of people come from all around the world to view a variety of entertainment, including stage concerts, dance, comedy, and special events. If you have never been to the theater, you should mark your calendar and take a trip. I have been to many theaters in Chicago and this one is my personal favorite. When I walk into the front doors of the lobby, I was instantly stunned. The auditorium had the most beautiful murals, chandeliers, and decorations I have ever seen. I was greeted and the usher escorted up the red carpeted spiraling stairs leading me to my seat. After a great show I walked out of the theater with a smile on my face. Everything about my experience was perfect; they made me feel like royalty. The staff will go out of their way to assist you. I recommend this theater to everyone who comes to the heart of Chicago!

I've never seen a major concert here - only comedy shows - which were both awesome. The location of the Chicago theater is great, right in the Loop with a ton of theaters and bars/restaurants close by. Inside the theater is huge - perfect for a big time comedy show. The decor is very ornate and cool - also very hard to imagine a rock and rap concert with this decor as the backdrop. Places like Congress Theatre in Chicago are able to pull off the Opera/classical music venue turned contemporary - but it seems as though the Chicago Theatre maybe too big to do so. However, it is a major venue in the Chicago scene and has a lot of really cool acts come through its doors so it is definitely worth keeping a beat on for upcoming shows.
