David OstrowMarch 25, 2018Great 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.
Ninah RandolphDecember 11, 2017Nice theater. A little on the smaller side which is nice. Coat check is about $2. Snacks, drinks, wine/champagne available
Jennifer JOctober 13, 2013Beautiful Theater. At Once, get here when the doors open and have a drink on the stage. They also repeat this at intermission.
Inigo MontoyaMarch 7At 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.
James M. Nederlander TheatreJanuary 14, 2019In 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.
Directors level has great seats and wonderful view. Bathrooms and bar in this level too. Highly recommend!
Anamaria HernandezNovember 8, 2013I'm honestly convinced there sing a bad seat in the house - the cheap seats in the balcony give a fantastic view of the stage!
The theatre itself is absolutely stunning! Check out www.broadwayinchicago.com for a list upcoming Broadway shows in Chicago. There is a Garrett's popcorn located just a door down from the theatre.
Merchandise takes cards but the bars are cash only. There is an ATM in the front lobby.
Albert LDecember 12, 2013There's a McDonald's right next to the theater if you need a very quick bite to eat before your show!
Hilldale DairyApril 7, 2016Absolutely stunning interior! Wonderful views, great shows! A must visit!- Kelsey PetersOctober 10, 2013Go see Once and get there early - you can order a drink on stage while the cast plays music!
- Dana TedescoNovember 13, 2011The Oriental Theatre is AMAZINGLY beautiful with fabulous ornate decor. Pay attention to the intricate details all around you!
Rajesh DevisettiAugust 9, 2021James M. Nederlander Theatre at ten minutes drive to the southeast of Chicago dentist Wicker Park Dental Group
- Joan BlumenthalMarch 10, 2016Seats are staggered so it's easy to see the stage. On the other hand the rows are very narrow.
Joseph B.April 10, 2019This review is for the Oriental Theater: beautiful interior decor! It's like a show within itself.
Buzz EvolutionOctober 6, 2011Check out the Oriental Theatre's page (http://www.broadwayinchicago.com/theatreinfo_tours.php) for info on theatre tours at 11 AM every Saturday, $10 (plus ticket fees.) Worth the tours.
Nedra ColemanOctober 12, 2013Once great musical. Set a real pub. However the film is still number one.
Claudia OcampoJanuary 18, 2014So beautiful! Ghost the musical was funny, touching and inspiring. Had a great time
Steve RugeMarch 1, 2012Visit the Half Price website or tix office at Randolph/Michigan (across street from Cultural Visitor Center) for half price tix to this venue.
markNovember 26, 2017Try 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.
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!
Arthur McTaggartJanuary 5, 2018Seats are very tight for a tall person, but it's a beautiful theatre.- ROCK OF AGES makes its way back to Chicago November 08 - November 13. Don’t miss this awesomely good time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on!
- FELA!, the joyous dance, theater, music spectacle, plays the Oriental Theatre March 27, 2012 - April 15, 2012!
Mary BrennanMay 6, 2010Definitely check out BILLY ELLIOT the MUSICAL -- now playing at the Oriental Theatre. Incredibly moving and entertaining show that should not be missed. Read more
Sandra VazquezOctober 11, 2014Cubs On Deck 2015. Sheryl, Serge, me. They r going to promise us a world series win. Yea!
Sonny DatoyMay 10, 2010go around the corner and into an alley to find the stage door and say hi to the talented kids of billy elliot! this production is TONS better than the current broadway cast.
Mary WonserJuly 22, 2019Seats are very small and aisles are too close. If you go take a sweater or jacket. It’s extremely cold!!
When at a show go watch the musicians down in the pit, the ushers love it
Dane MentzerNovember 7, 2010get a Stella Artois for $6 and set it on the first balcony's ledge...watch the feds come down on you...SET NOTHING ON THE LEDGE!!!- BIG FISH will have its pre-Broadway world premiere at the Oriental Theatre from April 2, 2013 through May 5, 2013.

"Great performance of the Lion King. Accousitics are great. We had trouble see through the heads in front of us. The only drawback but it was annoying. Of course I would go again great theatre."

"Such a more intimate venue. Only drawback--wait for Ladies' room, but they extended intermission for the misses."
Mames Ryan - 9.2
"This theatre is a true gem. The acoustics are perfect and has a bigger stage than the Shubert or Chicago Theatres."
