The Chicago Theatre Event Tickets

Check out a show in the Windy City when you get The Chicago Theatre tickets. Originally opened in 1921 as the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre, it was the flagship venue for the Balaban and Katz theater group. With a seating capacity of approximately 3,600, the Chicago Theatre initially served as a movie palace during the golden age of cinema. For its first 40 years, the venue presented premier films paired with live stage performances, including vaudeville acts and jazz concerts.

By the late 20th century, as cinema evolved, the Chicago Theatre transitioned into a multi-purpose performing arts venue. In 1979, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1983, it was declared a Chicago Landmark, cementing its status as an architectural and cultural treasure. The Chicago Theatre hosts an eclectic mix of events, including Broadway-style theater productions, concerts, comedy shows, lectures and special events like movie premieres and political speeches. Performers such as Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra and Prince have graced its stage, alongside contemporary acts like John Mulaney, Brett Eldredge, Dave Chappelle, Hozier and more.
