Cadillac Palace Theatre

The Palace Theatre opened at the corner of Randolph and LaSalle Streets in Chicago on October 4, 1926. Designed by legendary theatre architects the Rapp Brothers, the theatre originally opened as the flagship of vaudeville's legendary Orpheum Circuit. The theatre's interior featured a splendor previously unseen in Chicago — a breathtaking vision inspired by the palaces of Fontainebleau and Versailles.

The restored theatre was reopened during the fall of 1999, with the premiere of Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA. Since then, the Cadillac Palace has been the home to several pre-Broadway hits including THE PRODUCERS – THE NEW MEL BROOKS MUSICAL and MAMMA MIA!, long-run engagements of Disney's THE LION KING and Oprah Winfrey presents THE COLOR PURPLE, plus the national tour premieres of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh present MARY POPPINS and Dreamworks' SHREK THE MUSICAL.
