About this experience
The Chicago Theatre Tour Experience Step inside one of America's most famous entertainment venues with this guided tour of The Chicago Theatre. You'll explore the lavish 1920s interiors, walk across the same stage where Frank Sinatra and Dolly Parton performed, and discover the stories behind Chicago's most recognisable marquee. This hour-long experience takes you beyond the public areas into backstage spaces where theatre magic happens. Your guide shares the theatre's history from its opening in 1921 through its restoration and current role in Chicago's performing arts scene. You'll see the grand lobby with its original chandeliers, the 3,600-seat auditorium with intricate architectural details, and get exclusive access to backstage areas normally off-limits to the public. The tour offers excellent photo opportunities and a performer's-eye view of this historic venue.
