The Cadillac Palace Theatre is one of Chicago's grandest venues, boasting a lush French Baroque interior modelled on the Palace of Versailles. Having been both a vaudeville and movie theatre, it's currently operated by Broadway in Chicago, and has hosted many pre-Broadway runs, including Mel Brooks' The Producers in 2001.

The Civic Opera House is a 3,563 seat venue, making it the second-largest opera auditorium in North America. It was originally built for the Chicago Civic Opera, but today is the permanent home of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Its excellent design allows for perfect sightlines from every seat and top-class acoustics. The Lyric Opera of Chicago bought the space it was renting and the venue underwent a major renovation in 1993, which was completed in 1996.

One of the city's most iconic landmarks, The Chicago Theatre originally opened as a grand movie palace in the 1920s. Designed by renowned architectural firm Rapp & Rapp, the building takes up almost half a city block. Today, its grand auditorium showcases everything from concerts to touring Broadway shows.

The largest building in the whole United States when it first opened, Chicago's Auditorium Building was designed by Danmark Adler and 'father of the skyscraper' Louis Sullivan. The building's imposing, bulky facade is offset by the theatre's dazzling interior of gold-leafed arches and wall mosaics. It's currently home to the legendary Joffrey Ballet company and also plays host to hundreds of concerts and comedy shows every year.
