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 an elegant style inspired by the Royal Chapel of Versailles. The theatre has seven floors and a capacity of 3,600 people.

The theater experienced four decades of splendour until the end of the 1970s, when economic conditions led to its decline. Saved from demolition in 1986, it reopened to a concert by Frank Sinatra.

Since then, various artists including Alicia Keys, Dolly Parton, and Prince have performed at the Theatre.

During the Chicago Theatre tour, we'll learn about its history from a professional guide while exploring the main hall, climbing the staircase, and visiting the Theatre's dressing rooms as well as the stage where luminaries have performed.
