Chicago’s Performing Art Scene

Visitors to Chicago will find the exciting range of theater, music, dance and film culturally diverse and thriving. There are small, intimate lounges playing the best of live Blues, sweeping musicals straight from Broadway and everything in between.

The Chicago Office of Tourism states that over 35% of guests from out of town participate in a cultural event, and now there are even more reasons to explore the arts in Chicago. New venues are being built while others are renovated for a continually changing landscape of local and visiting talent performing throughout the city.
