The Chicago Theatre, Illinois, United States
4.5 (800 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #26 in Chicago Theaters
Gorgeous venue
Chicago's breath-taking National Landmark Theatre hosts concerts, comedians, theatrical productions and special events every year. The 3,600 seat auditorium is seven stories high, and the vertical "C-H-I-C-A-G-O," sign is one of the few such signs in existence today. A symbol of State Street and Chicago, the marquee is a landmark in itself, as is the Wurlitzer pipe organ. Patrons can also go behind-the-scenes on their educational venue tour, which runs a few times a week.

Amalgam of numerous shows
The venue is beautiful. The seats have great sight to the stage. The sound is excellent (dependent on performers). Stop and look at the ceiling. Drinks are a bit pricey but they have plenty of bars, and they are well made. The staff are friendly and organized. I've been to 20 shows at the Chicago Theatre over the 15 years I lived in the city and it is always an A+ experience. We'll be back this summer for more.

Very Nice Venue for a Blues Concert
Traveled 300 miles to attend a concert and found the venue to be well suited for Blues Artists Susan Tedecshi & her husband Derek Trucks. It was a tremendous concert, well attended, and just out the backdoor of our hotel (making it easy for us olds to get right to bed when it's over). It was a great evening, though I will say that being from a small town, I was not prepared to shell out $15.00 for a box of mediocre popcorn and a plastic cup 8 oz. cup 3/4 full of ice and pepsi. God knows what they might have been charging for beer, wine, or hard liquor.
