A few friends and I saw Hamilton here last July, and I have to say it was one of the best Broadway experiences (and shows) Ive ever seen!The theatre itself is laid out quite well, but its the set design, the attention to detail, and the quality of the actors that really make you feel like youre on the original Broadway, despite being a few hundred miles away from it.I will definitely be coming back here to see any other Broadway shows that pique my interest in the future!

Im giving it 4, just because of how tight the space between rows is. Anyone with long legs is going to be smashing their knees into the seat in front. Other than that, there really isnt a bad seat in the house. We took in Hamilton there and it was an awesome experience.

Saw Hamilton here. Amazing experience!I do wish there was a little more space in the halls. Maybe a few more restrooms, but on par with what Ive experienced in other theaters.Easily walkable to lots of places for drinks or dinner.

Absolutely amazing venue and performance. Definitely a stop to make while in Chicago! I saw Hamilton and although it is closing soon (or has closed when youre reading this) Im sure they will have a great lineup in the future.

So we happen to be in Chicago and was grateful to be able to catch Hamilton live. The theater is so beautiful wall to ceiling and the performance is incredible. If you can get tickets to see it please do. Never throw away your shot.

Beautiful theater for the musical Hamilton!The venue has a parking lot two blocks away, but I couldnt find it. I circled the block over and over. It has two small gates that are easy to miss.

Fantastic venue and a very well maintained theater! Im somewhat of a larger guy and the seats were comfortable and the arm rests didnt dig in to my sides at all. Great sound quality and set design. Wasnt overly loud or too quiet so you could hear the voices clearly. Would definitely see a show here again!

Place is beautiful! No elevators or bathroom on first floor. Saw a lot of elderly struggling to get to bathroom and balcony. Seats were limited view in orchestra. Lady in front of me quite tall, had to move around a bit to visualize stage.

I love the stage, and the show (HAMILTON) is superb, but the theater has a very tiny lobby, and theres always a crush to make it downstairs to get to the restrooms. The seating is comfortable and the theater inside is a nice size-- not cavernous, but with a goodly number of seats.

Watched Hamilton from the mezzanine (intermediate) level, was a great experience. Even from the back, you can get a relatively good view. Best seats probably would have been either ground level or front row of either balcony or mezzanine level. Cast was wonderful, set was amazing. The building itself is quite old, and it can be hard to find bathrooms in the mass of hallways in the back. Speakers were quite loud so be wary if you have sensitive ears.

I watched Hamilton here. Even though I got seats in the way back area, I could see performance well because the theater was relatively small. I dont know much about the history of the theater, but its well decorated and has good atmosphere.

Went and saw Hamilton. This venue is perfect. As long as youve figured out parking beforehand, youll have an amazing seamless time! And its super accessible-friendly. I sat in wheelchair accessible area with my mother who is disabled. The picture with a view is the view from where we sat. Perfectly comfortable for her, perfectly comfortable for me. A 10/10 experience.

Went to see Hamilton here and it was amazing. The staff were kind, helpful and very dedicated to making sure everyone followed etiquette sitting in right seats and following correct lines for drinks and bathrooms during intermission. Made everything run smoothly

Beautiful, significant architecture. Saw Hamilton which of course was incredible. St in Row U aisle seats on main floor which is not as expensive of seats as the ones in front of us. Good view of stage there. Lovely environment to see a show.

Luv this theater! You definitely get a touch of a vintage feeling upon entering. Staff was helpful&friendly. Two tips!#1 If youre tall you might want to get an end seat; not a lot of leg room directly in front of you. This is based on the Mezzanine level where I was sitting. #2 Dont be in a rush to get out. Its gonna take some time. The elevators can only accommodate so many people at a time. Otherwise youll have to use the stairs. It takes a while. The only solution would be to leave as your show is coming to an end in order to get a head start exiting. The drinks at the bar were good. Sorry for such a long review. Hope it helps.

This Theatre is quaint and charming! I recommend the right and left center mezzanine level seats for the perfect view of your production! The staff are friendly, intuitive, and organized! Ladies and gentleman come looking your best as you will not be allowed to powder, and press in the restrooms during intermission. Due to the time constraint traffic control methods are employed to keep the restroom and concession stand lines swiftly moving; an effort that was much appreciated during intermission! There are souvenirs and treats for sale at prices most reasonable for the occasion. The architecture is stunning and the staff absolutely lovely! Enjoy your show!

Theatre is beautiful. I was in the balcony for a production, and the seats were great. The staff are professional and helpful. There are enough restrooms for there not to be ling lines with concern of missing the show. Beverages and snacks were reasonably priced for a venue down town. I will definitely go there again.

Went to Hamilton here! I loved it! I was so glad and grateful to be there. I had amazing seats in the Orchestra Center Row L. These were absolutely amazing seats - the stage is a number of feet above the seats, so the first couple rows would’ve been too close. Even on a Wednesday night, the theater was PACKED. I already want to go again! If you haven’t seen it already, I really recommend going before Hamilton leaves Chicago on Jan 5, 2020. The theater itself was a beautiful place -it is a lot smaller than it seems based on the seat map. The only downside - it is EXPENSIVE. If you have a little one with you, downstairs you can get complimentary booster seats so they can see better. We were so close, we could see all the characters’ expression - it was amazing! I really recommend coming here to see Hamilton.

Hamilton was fantastic. Highly recommend. Great theater. Not a bad seat and reasonable prices for the Thursday night show.

We had so much fun seeing Hamilton here this summer! We took the train into Chicago and grabbed lunch and saw the show. Pretty much everything was in walking distance to and from the theater and train depot. The theater is quite charming and I really dont think theres a bad seat in the house! Support your local arts!

It’s a beautiful theatre like the one you see in movies. It was a great experience going there and watching my first ever broadway show.Since it’s an old theatre the seating is a bit congested. I am 5’8” and there was only little room for my legs. Everything else was good, it was fun watching the show.Don’t forger to be on time.FYI the general seating is NOT wheelchair accessible, they might have different seating for people with special needs. Check the website.#disabilityawareness

This theater is smaller than others Ive been to in Chicago. As is true of most old theaters, the hall was beautiful and full of architectural details from days gone by. The smaller size of the theater brings everyone closer to the show, but can also create more obstructions. Many of the seats marked obstructed are perfectly fine seats and offer a reduced ticket price!

We saw Hamilton for the second time in two years here. I nice theater and a wonderful show (one of my favorite musicals of all time)!!I also appreciated, as a woman, the attendants in the bathrooms that keep the line moving.This was my view for an obstructed seat. I was pleased, especially for the price reduction!!

Came here to see Hamilton while in Chicago. Lovely building. I had seats in the first row balcony. Great view of everything on stage but the seats were tight and not much leg room. Thank goodness for the intermission. Gave us a chance to stretch our legs.

Went to see Hamilton and had a wonderful time. The seating and visibility to the stage were excellent as the theater was smaller than others we had been to which allows us to be closer to the stage. You could easily see the performers and hear them without straining. The knocks on the theater are the lobby is too small for everybody to be in before the show starts and the restrooms are barely adequate during the intermission. If you do attend a show, recommend purchasing any items from the concessions stand immediately as they are very difficult to get to during intermission and after the show.

I saw Hamilton here during the polar vortex. It was nice and warm inside. The performance was good too.It can get a little crowded inside, but that is part of the fun, like at a nightclub. The bathrooms were clean and efficient, and managed to handle everyone during the intermission.I sat on the first balcony, which I think is called the mezzanine. The audio was clear, but the stage was a bit far away. I wish I had brought binoculars. The ushers were helpful. It was a good experience.

You feel like your in a London West End theatre. All staff were superb. Got a Iechyd da when served my drinks. To which I replied Diolch vn fawr. Not often you get to use my limited Welsh in Chicago. She was originally from Mountain Ash!

Im my estimation, an excellent theater. Visited in order to see Hamilton. It was a marvelous show a 8/10. The building is very unique internally and artfully built.

Beautiful theater! I saw Hamilton here and everything about the experience was wonderful. Great seats, lighting, sound and staff! The show was incredible!

Hamilton was absolutely fantastic!!!! I highly suggest that you listen to the soundtrack before seeing it.

Saw the wonderful Hamilton musical here. The acoustics from the mezzanine was great enough to enjoy the experience. The cost of the tickets for a family of four was reasonable. Parking was about 2 blocks away, and the weather was nice. I would go to see another show if the opportunity presents itself.

It was like stepping into a time machine in a good way! The theatre was opened in 1906 and as you ascend the stairs you just get the feeling a lot a history is present here. Plush velvet curtains hang everywhere and there is an orchestra pit. I prepaid parking online and found inexpensive parking about a block and a half away. The theatre is few blocks north of Congress so getting out of downtown and back on the expressway was a breeze.

Loved it. The bathroom line at intermission was a show unto itself. Ive never seen a womens bathroom line move so quickly. The security person checking bags had little patience and was mostly annoyed with life but beyond that the customer service was gracious. Of course Hamilton was incredible.

Saw Hamilton and it was amazing. Staff was awesome and very friendly, made sure you knew where you were going. The architecture of this place is amazing. The acoustics were great and even seating in the upper balcony we had a great view for the show. Would highly recommend catching a show here.

Great place to watch the theater. There really is not a bad seat in the place and the sound is amazing. The bar lines get crowded but selection is wide variety and the pours are typically generous. The bathrooms are another story with long lines and limit facilities. You probably dont have enough time to drain and refill before the next act.

Beautiful theater. There are obstructed views. Choose seats specifically. The money is worth it. Restrooms are clean and accommodations are good. Limited leg room if you are over 5ft 5in.

So beautiful and the staff were friendly. Loved Hamilton! Balcony seats Row D seat 406.

Hamilton!What a fabulous venue to watch a stage show.The theater is located in close proximity to many hotels.The seats are comfortable and the sound projects well in the theater.Tip: The show is usually sold-out. Instead od paying a premium for tickets through the hotel concierge, check directly with the Box Office for availability of tickets. You may be surprised!

Orchestra Row D was perfect for a first viewing of Hamilton. Its true you cant see the turntable from that close (and I guess the actors shoes), but that made it more magical somehow, like the actors were floating across the stage in perfect synchrony. What you can see, exceedingly well, are the actors facial impressions. Their near-spontaneous impressions and interpretations add an indefinable extra dimension to the experience and draw out sympathy and humor more than I thought possible. You really forget about everything around you and feel like part of the play.

A beautiful theatre to visit--the architecture and design inside is beautiful. There isnt great indication of it online when you book, but the view is very limited in the last 5 rows on the orchestra level because of the large balcony overhang and several posts. The ushers and other staff members were AMAZING. As funny as it sounds, one of the highlights of the evening was the line for the bathroom during intermission because of the helpful and energetic staff members helping everyone get through in time.

Didn’t throw away my shot to see Hamilton while it was in Chicago. 10/10 would recommend. The ushers are super friendly and fun to talk with over intermission!

Beautiful theatre. Great production of Hamilton. Only complaint is the bathroom situation. Only a fraction of the ladies will be able to use the bathroom at intermission.

Saw Hamilton at this theater. Great performance and the theater itself was great. Beautiful architecture like the celling ornamentation, clean facilities, and very helpful employees. The seating for each row was a little close where I had to lean to the side a bit to properly see the stage and the person sitting in front of me was just of average height, but it wasnt so big of a deal that I would take a star away from the theater. Overall great experience in this theater.

I have been to this theater a few times now and absolutely love it. Great shows, great prices. Bathrooms are always clean. I also love how helpful the ushers are, they really make navigating the crowds so much easier.

Enjoyed Hamilton play at CIBC Theatre and I highly recommend it. Their services are extremely excellent. If you are worried about the dress code, the standard is business casual

Good place. It’s old and the seats are not the best. We still had a great time and saw a great show... and had a great view!

Seen so many musicals here !Its a great theater, easily accessible downtown and in close proximity to most anything.A bit cramped if you’re tall (I’m 193cm/6’4) so be advised. It has good sounds and even the «nosebleeds» are decent

Such a great theater. Great show we seen Hamilton! We loved the whole experience.

Such an awesome theater to see Hamilton. So awesome that I proposed to my girlfriend during the play. She said yes! There are very nice bars on every floor and there are souvenir cups that come with the specialty cocktail. Nice little places to buy Hamilton merchandise.

A well run and gorgeous theatre in the heart of downtown Chicago. We saw Hamilton with a pretty full crowd. At intermission, they were coordinating the masses through the bathrooms to make sure the intermission was truly 15 minutes. Could not recommend this show or theater enough.

My girlfriend Maggi and I had the pleasure of seeing Hamilton at the CIBC Theater. The Play was one of the best Ive ever witnessed. The Theater is one of the Top venues for watching Hamilton every seat in the house was packed but it felt like the actors were performing just for me and Maggi.

Wonderful theater to experience a play, in our case Hamilton. Would have been 5 stars except the theater suffers as most older buildings that lack rest room facilities matched to the typical full audience size. You can expect the staff to be friendly and helpful, and the refreshments are responsible for downtown Chicago. Would recommend without hesitation. Of note - Main doors opened for ticket scanning & entry 45 min before performance time with simple bag/purse check. Doors to seating areas then opened ~15-20 min prior to opening number.

Enjoyed a big-named show here, first time visit. Our seats in the second balcony gave us a good view of the production except the very front of the stage was clipped a little. The concessions surprised me by having the best souvenir cup Ive ever gotten, definitely one Ill keep and reuse!

We really enjoyed this historic theater. The play was, of course, fantastic, but the venue was well-organized, well-staffed, clean, conveniently located, and we had great sightlines on the mezzanine level. The air conditioning was comfortable.

Finally got to see what the hype of Hamilton was all about. The writing and stage composition is unparalleled. The lyrics, score and cast left me wanting more. Balcony seating is challenging as most seats have restricted view due to the close stage proximity.

Great experience, the bathrooms situation was very much in need of improvement for women the line wrapped all the way around and not a very long intermission. I would definitely come back.

Lovely theater.We drove here from Southern Ohio to see Hamilton. We were not unimpressed by the theater. We were on the Mezz LC. The bathrooms and consessions were directly behind the seats. Very convienant. Getting in the theater and into your seat was painless. Doors open about 30m before the show. They do not allow outside food or drinks and they do Purse checks. Enjoy!

Why wait forever to get tickets to Hamilton or constantly enter the lottery when you can just snag some great seats here in Chicago. Ive made the trip twice and was very satisfied. Excellent performers. Great view from any seat!

Saw Hamilton here the lines for drinks were long and so were the line for the bathroom but its still a great place.

Such a beautiful theater! Saw Hamilton and loved it!!

Hamilton is the show everyone should see. It was more than I expected and very entertaining listening to the various songs

What a great Christmas gift from my husband! 2 tickets to Hamilton! My best friend for over 50 years came to town to join me. Loved the theater & Hamilton!

Beautiful and historic theatre in Chicago’s theatre district. Easy to access from the redline subway, and surrounded by excellent and fancy-as-you-want pre or post show restaurant choices. Theatre auditorium is ornate and classic LU styled, with beautiful gold inlay and detailed accents. Seating is perfectly situated for great viewing at nearly any level, and while the top balconies are a little vertigo-inducing, the railing is nice and seats are comfy for an hours-long show. Bar and merchants facilities are split between levels, making it easy to get what you want, and bathroom facilities are small, but well placed. Elevators make even the top seats fairly accessible to handicapped patrons. Staff were helpful and polite on our recent visit, and box office opens fairly early, which is nice.

Wonderful venue...just gorgeous...views and acoustics excellent. Oh ..and we saw this little show there. Hamilton. Powerful and life-changing. Absolutely incredible.

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful theatre. The shows are one of a kind and the performers will rock your world with their abundance of talent. Great for group outings, date night with your special someone or a girls night out. Go now, you wont regret it!

This was an awesome experience, it was my first time seeing Hamilton I want to see it again. I took my daughter because it was her 16th birthday and she liked it.

Excellent venue! Doors open officially 30 mins before start of the play. Great view from every seat.

Exciting venue with a classic feel. Kind staff, great acoustics, Amazing talent and stage. We would love to return again and again!

Beautiful theatre - they just dont make them like this anymore! Security staff was rude, except for the woman checking my bag...she was excellent!Will call staff was efficient and kind.The woman taking our tickets was very helpful, as were the women who helped us find our seats.Bartender was rude, but maybe just felt there would be a line of people?Seats were comfortable and spacious. On the main floor, most seats give a good view. We saw Hamilton, and if thats your show, try to get seats on the right side of the theatre....that way you dont miss any of the action!!!Ladies, I made the mistake of trying to use the restroom at intermission...what an unnecessary stress! We were yelled at from every direction at almost every moment. Id recommend holding it and running across the street after the show.If not for that, this would be 5 stars.

Came here to watch Hamilton. Excellent show. Seating was comfortable but the acoustics in the upper balcony were not great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Concessions were on the high side, but that is to be expected.

Sending best of wishes to the cast, crew and pit! Miguel Cervantes passion for his role shines through his acting and singing!!

Easily accessible older downtown venue. Comfortable seating. Downside is no handrails in the balcony and mezzanine seating. This may be problematic for elderly, handicapped, or balance challenged.

We watched Hamilton and it was amazing! The crew here is excellent and the staff super friendly! This is a great venue and a wonderful show! We are from Atlanta and the tickets sold out. We flew up and got tickets here. There were a great price and wonderful seats! We will definitely come back. If you are asking me if the venue is good. YES! If you want to know what see... Hamilton!!!

I always pay attention to sound systems in venues like this. Got to say, wasn’t too loud and it was just perfect for sitting in the fourth row. Hamilton put out a great production and performance. Crowd was managed perfectly considering the fact it was PACKED!.A wonderful job goes to the management of CIBC. Exactitude Perfectly

We arrived a tiny bit late and the ushers were still so nice and helped us find our seats

The CIBC Theater was wonderful! I went here to see the hit play Hamilton. The performance was inspiring, hilarious and heart wrenching. The venue was historic and accommodating. With its ground floor and three balconies above, it sometimes seemed that the acoustics lacked, but as soon as I noticed, it seemed the sound crew compensated. Even though it was a cool evening out, by intermission it was getting a bit warm in the theatre, but never got uncomfortable. It was a full house but I never felt that we were packed in like sardines. I would certainly recommend seeing a show here. We stayed at the Hampton Inn hotel that is located directly above the theatre so getting to the show was a snap! They even have a connecting door so you dont even have to go outside! Visit here, you wont regret it!

Went to see Hamilton. Very historical building, beautiful theater. The sound system and lighting was amazing. The musical itself and the cast were brilliant and exceptionally talented. The security staff were a little gruff and rude though, especially when searching purses.

I was here recently for a matinee performance of Hamilton. This is an absolutely beautiful old theater. The seats are packed in tight, but you get so lost in the show that you hardly notice. I would gladly see any Broadway show or concert here.

Beautiful theater designed by George and Cornelius Rapp that originally opened in 1906. The house currently seats about 1800. We had great seats to see Hamilton on the main floor, row V, located in the center + just under the balcony. The sight lines were excellent and the sound was perfect - I could hear every word. The actual seats were standard old school theater seats, comfortable, but not exceptionally wide. The staff did a great job taking tickets and ushering everyone to their seats. Two thumbs up to the usher that quickly and firmly admonished anyone with an active cellphone. This theater is an excellent venue for Hamilton. Two thumbs up and all 5 stars for the CIBC theater.

Saw Hamilton. The show was good, the theater is a bit old and small. Also if youre in one of the back few rows, the balcony above you cuts off the top of the stage just a little. Didnt affect this show at all, but it should be noted.

This place is one of my favorite theaters on Earth. Not a bad seat in the house! The place is clean and the acoustics are excellent. The house staff is polite, and the drinks are reasonable. Would reccommend!

Saw Hamilton here. Of course the show was Amazing!,.... But so was the theater. Staff were all polite and the theater was clean and beautiful.

Beautiful old theatre...seats comfortable. Lines for both ladies and mens restroom very long at intermission. Wine and other beverages available for purchase in lobby area.

We went here to see Hamilton. Were had seats in the balcony, second row. These were excellent seats, add neither of us like being too close to the stage. There is probably not a bad seat in the theater though, except Id someone really tall sits in front of you. And the theater could use some updating, its a little run down. We enjoyed our experience there, and would definitely go back.

Excellent view from the mezzanine, and the suite service was nice. The ticket takers were great at directing traffic and keeping things moving.

Great performance of Hamilton tonight! Topped off a great weekend in Chicago, from Southern California.

Saw Hamilton here. Great theatre and an incredible show.The biggest downside are the bathrooms. They either need more bathrooms or a way to speed the lines up. It was total chaos.

Hamilton was wonderful the second time around. I wish there werent so many obstructed views in this theater.Its gorgeous inside. I love the balcony seating. The bathroom line is ridiculous at intermission. Dont drink anything so that you can avoid it!

CIBC stands for Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce doing business as CIBC, with many US branches. Maybe, they made a substantial donation or purchased the naming rights or some such to become a major patron. They had a full page ad in the program, the day I attended a performance.Now that the mystery over the name is solved, it is the old Majestic Theater completely renovated to period greatness, true to its original bones.Smallish by todays standards yet an intimate setting for great productions. Facilities get cramped when there is a full house but the intimate setting makes for a much better experience. Easy in and out.Outstanding staff and volunteers. Enjoyable experience.

Claustrophobic feeling (Im not overweight), poor sight lines in many seats, and run-down overall, the Auditorium Theatre this is not! Im not sure why Hamilton is at this theatre (Im sure it has to do with money somehow) but its really too bad. Its very hard to see past the person in front of you even if they are short and unless you want to pay many hundreds of dollars per ticket (or more) youll most likely be disappointed.

Dont sit in upper balcony. We couldnt see the upper parts of the stage because of wooden ? partition blocking view. Nice place. Great sound.

The production of Hamilton we saw was outstanding, just believe your tickets if theyre marked with limited visibility! But again, great show, great staff, and historic city venue.

This is the view from BALCRC J 408, which is completely blocked by a big pillar. This seat shouldn’t existed at all. I have to seat on the stairs to watch and it’s ruined the show. Very bad experience overall, doesn’t recommend anyone to this greedy place.

Dont get the venue confused with the show - the show (Hamilton) was fantastic. The venue (CIBC) theater was not that great. 1 mens and 1 womens bathroom, downstairs from ground level. Its a total zoo at intermission!The staff were helpful, motivating, and funny. They helped everyone get to the restroom and out. The box office was very helpful - tried to buy tickets the day before, and he recommended I come back the day of show to get a HUGE discount on tickets...which we did! $500 ticket went down to $200, with no fees (just tax). Amazing.Drinks were average theater prices. Full bar.I would go again, but for the show, not for the venue.

View from seat ness mezz g1, nice slope to the upper levels, able to see over everyone easy

The theatre is gorgeous! For a Broadway show, it still has an intimate feeling to it. I would give it five stars, however the ushers I encountered are rather rude and bossy. Be aware as well that they open the outside doors a while before the inside ones, so you may be crammed in the small lobby with lots of people if you get to your show too early.

Saw Hamilton, the show itself was AMAZING, the venue...not so much. There were so many stairs with no elevator (or if there even is one, not clearly marked) for the balcony sections. Any balcony spot that isnt in the first few rows, you have to crane your neck or sit awkwardly to be able to see the whole show both because of the way the person in front of you is positioned and the architecture of the building/stage/balcony. This venue was not built properly for pleasant balcony seating. LOVE THE HAMILTON CAST AND SHOW THOUGH THE CRICK IN MY NECK WAS WORTH IT FOR THEM

I have seen several plays and musicals at this theater over the past decade and Im always satisfied with the experience. Even the cheap seats are not bad, but the good seats are outstanding. The beer selection could use an update, they dont have anything worth drinking. Now if they would just ban people from eating during the show, it would be perfect...

Love the old historic theatre the upkeep is to be committed. Loved the performance of Hamilton. Sweet home Chicago!!!!

The show was amazing. Unfortunately, in this theatre, there IS such a thing as a bad seat and we had one of them. Our view was terribly obstructed. Fortunately, we were able to move during the Intermission and thoroughly enjoyed the Second Act. Shame on the Producers for selling seats 13, 14 and 15 on Row C!
