Theater

West Side Story was the play being performed. It was fabulous. I have nothing but praise for EVERYTHING about it. The actors did a wonderful job!The orchestra was also excellent. The gift shop at the Guthrie is way too expensive for my station in life though.

Such a fun venue! It is visually fun (especially the bathrooms!) and open enough that it doesn't feel cramped. It's nice to have the option of couches along the side or bar stools in the balcony along with standing room on the floor. I will keep my eye open for other events at The Varsity just so I can visit again!

Ball's cabaret is always a fun time with good people

Its in an old firestation and has an amazing open feel.

The Jungle is doing a great job with new artistic director Sarah Rasmussen. Every production is solid throughout: acting, set, lighting, sound. And the selection of plays each season has continued the Jungle's tradition of emotionally gripping work while bringing in some new voices

Gorgeous venue! Small, but I love the fact that it is more personal. Aunty Donna killed it.

Nice little theater, great staff, and if you go for a Tuesday matinee, you pay six dollars and get popcorn They refill the large drinks, and they are nice folks too.

They have done a great job renovating.. recliner seats have heat in them. The service is great I love watching a movie here.

Best combination of traditional cinema experience (i.e., early midwest premier of a select few high quality Sundance "art film" winners to an attentive and informed audience at a reasonable price) and contemporary scene of young theater staff delivering "high-end" hospitality services and amenities in a relaxed and spacious lobby...with ample purchasing time between scheduled and well coordinated showtimes for all feature presentations.

I went to see a co-worker perform in The Director's Cut: 30 Rock, a parody of NBC's show mixed with improvisation. Hilarious, great show!

Very high quality performances aimed towards younger children, but all theatre enthusiasts with find something to enjoy. How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Jungle Book are my favorites from the past, but they’re always opening new and diverse shows. Great representation. For students interested in acting, they have FANTASTIC musical theatre classes based on experience and grade. They also offer summer camps. The teachers bring the same energy from the stage performances to the classrooms, which are located right beneath the theaters. I believe they now offer audition workshops regularly, too, if you would like to be a part of a show. The Children’s Theatre is a fun opportunity for families, and you can always check out the museum while you’re there. Good location: it’s near many good restaurants and a park.

I always enjoy any thing connected with this theater company.

Love this place. It's really nice inside, and the employees are very friendly. Prices are always reasonable, and there isn't a bad seat in the house. Pretty cool that you can walk to good restaurants on the same block.

The Avalon Theater was gorgeous. The food there was delicious and the waiters were so kind. The seating is super comfy, but the best part is the beautiful twinkling of the "stars" on the ceiling.

This is a classy theater that shows some really interesting movies - plus has full food and drink service at the same time. We've enjoyed it quite a lot. The food, which includes movie staples like popcorn as well as burgers, wings and shakes, is pretty good and served promptly. This is definitely a great place to enjoy a movie.

This is the only theater we go to! Prices are the same as any other theater (we always get the senior tickets) AND you get your own free popcorn and drinks, free refills too! We rarely see kids there unless a kid's movie is playing, which is usually during the summer. It's quiet and everyone attending is respectful. Have to mention that the staff is always polite and helpful.

Always a great deal and new seats really comfy

Cute, historic theater. Parking is challenging in this area of Wilmette, though, not the theater's fault.

Theaters are good. They are crowded over weekends. Their Dolby theaters are little disappointing as the recliner seats do not recline all the way. I personally like the one in Regal. Their sound quality is awesome make it worth the money with all the Dolby effects. There are little things they can do better 1. If you purchase tickets online, you have to still print them at the Kiosk which means standing in line. It would be cool if they could make etickets and then I can skip the Kiosk 2. They need to speed up at the snack counters. I takes too long to get a popcorn and a drink Still this is great theater and you will enjoy

My FAVORITE Chicago theater. This historic place had a massive renovation to update everything while preserving the art deco style. My wife and I would regularly travel 45 minute on the train from downtown just to go here. They don't have show times on the major sites like Fandango, but their site is easy to use. Staff is friendly too. We bought tickets online and changed our mind on the way to switch to another show around the same time. Even though the policy is "no substitutions" they were able to switch it for us at the counter. The snacks are good and they even serve beer at the concession stand. Go early and grab a meal at the Carbon Arch restaurant that is part of the same establishment. The burger is great.
