Other remarkable theatres?
The Bank of America is one of those Chicago theatres one should not pass up while traveling in Chicago. The Jersey Boys perform at this venue and they are the group that performed an award winning musical about Frankie Vallie, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi. All these are members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their story tells of blue collar kids who went on and became greatest successes in the pop music industry.
Also worth a visit are the Lakeview Theatre, The Annoyance Theatre, I.O. and The Playground. Here young actors take classes and perform shows ranging from ragged to inspired. The performances are spread throughout the week. Most of these actors are in it for their passion and rarely get paid. The shows tend to be cheaper than anything else in town, definitely something to take a look at while traveling in Chicago.
