At the heart of downtown Chicago. The theater is located in a convenient place very close to Millenium park. I felt safe to watch movies by myself.

I have been to this venue several times a very nice old theatre. Beautiful but not the most comfy seats. I enjoyed a great concert there.

Beautiful theater. Great acoustics. We sat towards the top. The seats were not that comfortable and it was way too hot.

I saw a Yusuf/Cat Stevens concert there and the acoustics were great. It is a beautiful theatre, it reminded me of the Opera House in Paris, France.

The show has to be rewritten. Costumes are bad and the scenarios are too pore for a show that clams Broadway!
