Royal George Theater

The Royal George Theatre, located in Chicago is one of the most awe-inspiringly crafted theatres that still retain its architectural charm for a good option of Chicago Illinois travel. Considered as a traditionally important landscape built in 1986, it has been known to be the most bustling sectors of the city.

The exquisite Lincoln Park shares its location with this theatre, along with its fabulous layout inside. As a vaudeville house, it has entertained troops during World War I.

This giant theatre complex is actually a three stage entertainment house constituting of a Broadway sized mainstage, a 100 seat cabaret space and the Gallery Theatre - a studio space constructed upstairs where several Chicago's small scaled companies have performed plays and used this area to a good advantage.

Customary to its design and purpose, this studio space normally conducts open run comedy or musical hit shows, like the 'I Love You You're Perfect Now Change'. The 60 seat Great room on the contrary, has been beautified as an upscale saloon, and sometimes it feels like a decorated dining room.

A total of 190 seats have been positioned to shape a semi circle, along with cocktail tables that have been organized in a row beside the front stage.

Majority of the shows are organized to favor accessibility of the theatre going crowd. The mainstage has been a home to some spectacular works, especially many of Midwest premiers like Tony Kushner's 'Angels in America', Neil Simon's 'Lost in Yonkers', Ken Ludwig's 'Lend Me A Tenor', 'Smokey Joe's Cafe', Paul Rudnick's 'I Hate Hamlet' and 'Forever Tango'.

The theatre has continually hosted many brilliant performances and productions, and also doesn't charge a very expensive ticketing price.

Since The Royal George Theatre owns a prime location in the city - right across the street from the Steppenwolf Theatre - it flaunts a range of restaurants and bars around itself.

Seating and spaces have been designed to offer absolute comfort, with a mesmerizing background featuring beautiful acoustics and sight lines from its main-floor continental-style seats or 143 balcony seats in counting.

The little opera house proffers a magnificent envelope, its sublimity displayed by its classic wooden false front, and Edward gilt mouldings, red walls and golden lions exhibited inside. This is the home ground of Shaw Festival, where its musicians and mysteries come to life. Snacks, drinks and liquor can be purchased by people during the shows, which can be enjoyed merrily in the lobby.
