Located in the Chicago Loop just steps from the riverfront, the Cadillac Palace Theatre is an elegant venue that brings the best of Broadway to downtown Chicago. Originally opened as the flagship of vaudeville’s legendary Orpheum Circuit in 1926, today the restored space retains its opulent glamour with carved marble, decorative mirrors, glittering gold leaf, and 2,500 plush red seats. Grab tickets today to see Broadway’s beloved musicals and Tony-winning plays, as well as special events like comedy shows and magic acts.
As the popularity of vaudeville began to die down in the early 1930s, the Cadillac—then the New Palace Theatre—was converted into a movie palace that occasionally brought Broadway shows to Chicago. In 1984, under the name the Bismarck Theatre, the venue was converted into a space for rock concerts and then was used sporadically during the 1990s. After a complete restoration, the theater reopened as the Cadillac Palace in 1999 and has since become the home of both touring productions and pre-Broadway premieres. In 2018, you can get tickets to see smash-hits such as On Your Feet!, The Sound of Music, Cinderella, Waitress, and the world premiere of the new comedy musical Tootsie.
