Broadway In Chicago

151 W Randolph St · Chicago, IL

Why you should go…

Broadway In Chicago presents national touring productions of Broadway musicals and plays across five historic Loop venues: the Cadillac Palace Theatre, CIBC Theatre, James M. Nederlander Theatre, the Auditorium Theatre and Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. Its Cadillac Palace Theatre at 151 W. Randolph Street has hosted large-scale touring shows such as Cameron Mackintosh's new production of The Phantom of the Opera. The client's brochure corresponded to that production's limited Chicago engagement, which has since concluded.

Good to know

General theatre & events guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Curtain time is firm

    Latecomers are commonly held at the back until a scene break, so build in a buffer.

  • Study the seating chart

    Price and sightline vary a lot within the same house. A few rows back can be the better seat.

  • Rush and lottery seats exist

    Many venues release same-day tickets at a discount if you are flexible about where you sit.

  • Arrive with time to spare

    Parking, bag check, and finding your row all take longer than you think on a full house.
