Lucille Fisher: If you have not seen this, go to the Chicago Cultural Center, it’s an architectural gem & this enormous Tiffany dome is awesome. I’ve seen it many times & it never ceases to amaze me.
Lucille Fisher: Historic theater (est. over 100 yrs ago!). Intimate, every seat is good. Saw ‘Bunny Bunny Gilda Radner’ & it was excellent! Will follow future shows for sure.
C Rey: Intimate live theater in the "sophisticated" Southport Corridor. Saw the Christmas Schooner and would recommend to anyone looking for a holiday classic. No concessions but lots of options close by.

Ashley Sheeran: Rock + Brew - great for you Cheap dates out there. Two movies and drinks for under $10 (I think). Also great indie shows.

Heidi Aldama: Love going to concerts here. You can walk up to the front, place your beer on the stage and dance the night away.
