Inspired by a style called "Opium Dream," this theater has a quasi-Arabian theme, from the statues that peer down on the audience to the intricate wrought-iron work on the staircase. This was the premier place to see movies in the Loop, and it later housed such live acts as Fred Astaire and Jimmy Durante. However, it fell into grave disrepair in the 1970s and was shuttered for good in the early... more

The Oriental Theatre is a gem among the many
theaters in the burgeoning Randolph Street
Theater district. Opened in 1927, during a golden
period of the Chicago playhouse scene, the
theater originally was a movie house that also
featured live performances. It was a place where

The Oriental Theater is the most awesome place! I love everything about it. My parents went to go see Ragtime and loved it. I saw Blast! there and found both the show and the theater absolutly fascinating. This is one theater you have got to visit. I want to go see Swing!
