Great classic movie palace turned into Broadway in Chicago Theater . Wonderful decor, seating, sightlines and acoustics & host to pre-Broadway and touring companies of hit shows.

Beautiful Theater . At Once, get here when the doors open and have a drink on the stage . They also repeat this at intermission.

Nice theater . A little on the smaller side which is nice. Coat check is about $2. Snacks , drinks, wine/champagne available

In honor of the late James M. Nederlander, patriarch of Broadway and champion of Chicago’s Downtown Theatre District, we will be renaming the Oriental Theatre as the JAMES M. NEDERLANDER THEATRE.

Inigo Montoya

At the intermission now and have to say that the first act was really excellent - funny, fun and very well done. Highly recommend if you get a chance - it’s only here for 2 weeks.

Mary Pritchard

Directors level has great seats and wonderful view . Bathrooms and bar in this level too. Highly recommend!

Amanda Cooper

Seats are staggered so it's easy to see the stage . On the other hand the rows are very narrow.

Arthur McTaggart

Seats are very tight for a tall person, but it's a beautiful theatre .

Broadway In Chicago

Experience the next chapter of the classic American story at the most joyous and exciting musical on Broadway , IN THE HEIGHTS! Playing for one week only, January 10 - January 15!

Try to sit in front row of your sections. Lots of old theaters have tight seats but these are some of the worst in Chi town for leg room.
