But, like many other grand theater and movie houses of the time (and for that matter, the inner-city as a whole), the Palace fell into disrepair and was vacated a shell of its former glory. Unlike many of its now-razed counterparts, this ... more

The theatre is in a good location--just west of the Loop. It's a beautiful theatre; well done on the renovation, and we saw an awesome performance of Les Mis!

The Cadallac Palace is a great theatre in Chicago to visit. The decor is just beautiful. The location is public transportation accessible. The staff is very friendly and caring. I went to see the Lion King Broadway Musical and it was phenomenal

Impressive, Exciting, Engaging, Sizzling and Sensational are words I would use to describe my visits to the Theater. The room is beautiful, the seats are comfortable and the excitement as curtain goes up is contagious. A genuine asset to the Theater Community. I look forward to many more performances. I come with a group of friends (10 in all) from Indiana and we have thoroughly enjoyed each show ... more
