Discover the most famous theater in Chicago and one of the most important venues in the United States on this tour of the historic Chicago Theater!
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the entrance of the Chicago Theatre and start this guided tour of the most famous theater in Chicago and one of the most significant in the United States.
The Chicago Theatre was inaugurated in 1921, with an elegant and very luxurious style. The impressive hall was inspired by the Royal Chapel of Versailles. The theatre also stands out for its size, as its stalls reach seven floors high and it has a capacity for 3,600 people.
The theater experienced four decades of splendour until the end of the 1970s when the city's economic and social situation caused the auditorium to sink into a deep crisis, which led it to become a decadent cinema. Fortunately, in 1986 the theatre was saved from demolition and, after large investments, it was reborn. Its doors reopened with an unforgettable opening ceremony with a concert by Frank Sinatra.
Since then, artists including Alicia Keys, Dolly Parton, Prince, Oasis and Van Morrison have performed at the Theatre.
During the Chicago Theatre tour, we'll learn about its history from a professional guide while walking through the elegant main hall, climbing the luxurious staircase and more. You'll be surprised by the size and acoustics of the auditorium.
We'll also visit the Theatre's dressing rooms and climb up to the same stage where artists such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin have enamoured audiences.
At times, some areas of the Chicago Theatre may be restricted during the tour due to the shows that take place there.
