Chicago Theatre is eponymous with Broadway, the Red Carpet and the glittering gowns and top hats of performance art. With over 14 categories to choose from, the theatre halls aren’t just the springboard for some of the greatest musicals of the centuries, but a spotlight on the most noteworthy ballets, concerts and comedies to be seen. Walking up 175 N State Street, the flashing marquee is bound to stall you in your tracks with its theatrical light fixtures and LED lettering. Through the swinging glass doors is a perfect snapshot of flamboyance from the 20s with its brocaded draperies and lobby of gilded marble. A total of 3,800 velvet, mauve seats line the theatre hall beneath the curved ceilings adorned with faded frescoes of the past. A trip through these nostalgic carpeted aisles with the illustrious tales spun by practiced guides will bring you through the dramatic rise and fall of musical productions since its rise to fame at the turn of the 20th Century.

By evening, treat yourself and your family to one of the many acclaimed productions held on this landmark stage. Be it a night of side-aching laughter with comedians such as Kevin Hart or journeys through lands of make-belief with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the options are endless. One thing however is for certain. A ticket at the Chicago Theatre is an assured ticket to spellbinding stories and the best entertainment of the decade.
