Two notable theatres in Chicago are the LaSalle Bank Theater and the Auditorium Theatre. Chicago audiences enjoy performances there throughout the year. The Auditorium Theatre, Chicago offers upcoming performances by the Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet Company, The Joffrey Ballet, The Ten Tenors. The Auditorium Theatre began life as an opera house, and has been in existence for nearly one hundred and twenty years. The building itself is a National Historic Landmark building, and it is wonderful to experience a show in this glorious venue.
The LaSalle Bank Theater, which now goes by the name of Bank of America Theater, hosts a variety of top Broadway plays in Chicago. Built one hundred and three years ago, the theatre began life under the name the Majestic Theatre and hosted vaudeville acts. Today as the Bank of America Theater, it is home to the Broadway musical Jersey Boys. Jersey Boys is a theatrical retelling of the evolution and history of a famous 1960s rock group, The Four Seasons with Frankie Valli. They have the Chicago production of this tremendous musical, which started its run in The Windy City in 2007 and features songs such as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like A Man,” and “My Eyes Adored You,” playing regularly at this large theatre, thrilling audiences with their wonderful harmonies.
You can find tickets for Broadway in Chicago playing at Bank of America Theater, the Auditorium Theatre and other classic venues through a local ticket broker.
