Chicago Theatre Tour

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, featuring a luxurious style inspired by the Royal Chapel of Versailles. The theatre has a capacity for 3,600 people and its stalls reach seven floors high.

After four decades of prominence, the theatre declined in the late 1970s and became a decadent cinema. It was saved from demolition in 1986, reopening with a ceremony featuring Frank Sinatra.

Since then, it has hosted artists including Alicia Keys, Dolly Parton, Prince, Oasis and Van Morrison.

During the Chicago Theatre tour, we will learn about its history from a professional guide, walking through the elegant main hall and luxurious staircase. You will be surprised by the size and acoustics of the auditorium.

We'll visit the Theatre's dressing rooms and the stage where artists like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin have performed.
