I was amazed by this place! This was the first time I was here and I will definitely go again. I went to a Mix at Six to see Cirque Eloize: Saloon. Phenomenal show! Open seating so it was first come first serve.

What a great theater. All seats seem to have a good view. This theater is built underground so grant park is above the theater. Its also located just around the corner from the Bean.

This was such a lovely experience! We went to the Messiah song along and enjoyed every moment. The parking garage is right next to the building, so that was very nice. Only issue was there wasnt enough light to see our music.

The Harris Theater consistently brings top talent in the arts to Chicago. Their innovation programming and collaborative partnerships ensures patrons will be able experience some of the best performances in the city. Check out their Beyond the Aria series with Lyric Opera, the Family Series and the many dance and music programs. You will not be disappointed.

I went there to enjoy student orchestra and amateur symphony but a professional pianist with. Its a fantastic performance.

The theater is a very nice space and the seating is such that there isnt a bad viewing point. The stage is medium sized and accommodates a production on the smaller side ( I saw an acrobatics Troup of about 9 people. A very nice place.

The stairs and elevator were near each other. The kitchen area was a necessity as well as the different entrances to the stage. There was ample room for the catering food to be held before serving. To see it from a behind and below the scenes, was a fantastic experience for me.

Free concert, movies, and events. Admiration for the its design also free

Our family was blessed to attend a family matinee of Cirque Eloize via USO of Illinois and Excleon Harria Theater! Catered lunch, hands-on cirque training, and tons of fun!

First time in building! Beautiful! Had no idea the building has been there for at least 15 years! Staff/volunteers were all very pleasant and helpful! Clean, spacious! I hope to visit and be or participate again soon!

Great theater. Every seat is a good seat. No bad view anywhere.

Had the Chicago Innovations Awards here last week. It was amazing. A lot of entertainment and mingling. Super nice Networking event after hours. I would love to go back and see some more art!!

Very nice place, good parking and inexpensive once you validate your ticket. Good seating. Come and check it out...

The performance we paid to see was billed as the Elgin Orchestra performing Abbey Road. It would have been great to actually hear the orchestra! Instead, we strained to hear anything beyond the vocals and the drummer - who some genius determined should bang loudly from a position in front of the orchestra! An example of how bad this was, during While My Guitar Gently Weeps, we could barely hear the lead guitar. And then, they brought forward a violinist who, though vigorously working her bow, could not be heard at all! And we were sitting less than ten feet from the mixing board! Very disappointing

Enjoyed their free open house. Even though I didnt see a show, the facility is beautiful and fun

January 24th Abbey Road performance was without merit for two reasons:1. Sound was distorted giving drums and instrumentals priority over vocals. Somewhat improved after intermission then reverted back. Violinist solo was not heard at all in row Q orchestra until all other instruments halted.2. Vocalists seemed to be just going through the motions. Robotic, without feeling.If we didn’t have to wait for friends, we would have left at intermission.In the future more rehearsals are needed.

Modern, clean design and fun to descend from the Randolph entrance. Its like being part of a secret club. A light installation follows you on your journey downward and theres a small art gallery in the hallway on the theaters main level. Very much enjoyed my experience!

Venue is nice. Their snacks area consists of one table and two servers/cashiers. No big snacks. Very nice staff all around. We parked at the Millenium park garage.

The music was wonderful, but I did not like the theater, all the way down in the basement. Kind of dark, industrial looking.But the music was wonderful.

The theater itself is very nice - its basically built into the ground so when you enter off of Randolph, you are entering at the top of the balcony section. Its a great setup to have good sight-lines for everyone and still have a building that doesnt impose on the park. Its adjacent to the Millennium Parking Garage so getting to and from the theater is easy.The layout of the theater is fairly typical with steeper seating the further you get from the stage. However, aisles are wider so getting around is easier. Given that one of our group has a wheelchair, it was nice that in laying out the theater theres disabled seating (both wheelchair and transfer types) throughout each seating price-point and not just in the back of the theater as is often typical. The Harris also gives (at least for the performance we attended) a slight price break for the disabled and companion seats. It was a nice nod to the fact that some people have no choice but bring a helper along.While the show we saw was very good and the seating in a nice area, the staff was what stands out in my mind. Everyone we interacted with knew their job, was helpful, and proactive. From e-mailing the Accessibility Services Department to leaving the theater after the performance made it seem like they dealt with extra needs every day - nothing brought a, let me check on that.As an example, when we first arrived at the Harris, we talked with a staff member we needed to go for our tickets. She pointed us to the elevator to go down to Level 1. When we were getting off the elevator, another staff member was there and I heard her say, I have them. They made things easy and that our situation was normal. We dont get to feel like that a lot.At the end of the day, the Harris Theater is a great place to see a performance. Its easy to see the stage, its easy to get around the theater, and the people there are extremely helpful. Youll have a wonderful experience.

Nice place n show I saw amazing magicians n show! Area is great there too

State of the art stage and acoustics. Reasonably priced drinks (for a venue). Comfortable seating. What more can you want from a venue?

Great seats and the interesting location! Its mostly underground due to building height constraints. Plenty of bathroom facilities. Elevators are available of course and cloakrooms.

Great venue. Excellent service by staff. Great show. Easy to get to by walk, drive or mass transit. Easy entrance from Millenium garage or by elevator from millenium park. Every seat a great view of the stage.

My wife and I recently attended a performance from the Music of the Baroque series. It was a wonderful to hear Haydn & Mozart played by such an accomplished and talented group, Allison Balsom was phenomenal! (I only wish she couldve played a little longer).My criticism is that the balcony seats are way too close to each other from front to back. Im 6 and I had almost no leg room, it was worse than being in an airplane! Needless to say, I became very uncomfortable by the end of a two-hour concert.One bit if advice, do NOT forget to get your parking ticket validated at the theater if you drive there and park in the Millennium Park garage (huge cost difference!). Prolly better to take public transportation there anyway...

The Harris is a delightful theatre. We have now been twice to enjoy Music of the Baroque. The theatre itself is easily accessible, with wonderful sightlines for most all of the seats. I especially have enjoyed the attire of the ushers (black with an orange scarf - very classy). Its also great that they come out at intermission to sell beer, wine, and water. The Harris is truly one of the great things about living in Chicago.

The Harris Theater is an exceptional place for music and Im sure dance. Its an intimate experience with great acoustics. The performers are one with the audience. Really, really awesome place to see a concert. Beverages at a cost.

Awesome. A quick thought, no planning but an awesome event about courage and rescilliance. Very impressed. Chicago, you made me proud. I need to go downtown more often.

Love going here!!! I take my dad to magic shows everywhere but this place is by far the best

Wonderful venue with comfortable seating and great acoustics. The staff there are also very helpful and friendly.

No seat is bad. Great venue for dance. A real gem in the chicago theater and dance scene.

The best programming of any one venue in Chicago, a fun modernist lobby, and great views. Nearly everything staged here is worthwhile!

To hear Handels Messiah sung by a full house was absolutely wonderful! Merry Christmas!

Good show offerings. Very cool venue.

Great setup for a show, finding the entrance was a little challenging but obviously cant deduct a star for that

It was so much fun I had a blast at that theater

Great sound! But very vertical and public school like lobby and stairs. Bring your climbing shoes if you have floor seats....

Always intriguing concerts with stellar musicians. Black box venue av bit dreary and subterranean though. They seem to forget that people listen with their eyes, too

Saw Champions of Magic. Very entertaining show with classic tricks and some humour

Love the environment and the inclusion that is experienced in the events offered here. Great theater. I come every year for the Puertorican Cuatro Festival

Mock trial event by Greek museum was FABULOUS, persuasive, comedic, and very interesting! Wish student ticket prices were less than $50. Current price of $50 for students and $100 for adults is cost-prohibitive for many, and has been for us in past. Audience participation in determining verdict was fun. Great venue. Dressy.

Expansive space but not intimidating. Great acoustics and a welcoming venue for the first hip hop showcase at Harris Theater.

Consistently innovative and thrilling programming! This is an essential venue for cultural engagement in Chicago!

Yes, the acoustics are Great, saw Chaka Chan and other artists at the Harris Theater.

This theatre goes underground, rite next to millennium park, great views. Just wasnt aware of the parking.

Excellent performances, very reasonable prices especially for the Mix @6 Series$15.00 for 1 hour performancesFood trucks outside on the lower level. Cocktails and beer served. Right at Michigan and Randolph. All kind of nice restaurants nearby Millennium Park. Nice place to take the entire family. We were dancing in the aisles tonight.

Harris Theater is a great multi-purpose facility.A great feature is the on-site parking - completely avoids weather and other logistical issues. However, the on-site parking is priced highly.I gave three stars over four because the talent, though varied, is not always of the highest caliber, and leans a bit too much towards social issues. We attend theater to be entertained, not for exposure to social issues.

An excellent place for chamber music and baroque opera.Seats in the front sections seem to have much more legroom than those in the back.

Really cool venue, mid size theater. Has a lot of really engaging performances and speakers.

Well designed theater. You get good audio and unobstructed view from anywhere you sit.

I love coming here, from both the performance and the audience perspective. There is really no bad seat! Im here annually with the Apollo Chorus of Chicago to perform Handels Messiah, much of it by memory. It goes by so quickly, that I wish we could do it twice in a row! Every year is memorable!

I was in a show here. The place is spacious and let you sell alcohol at your event.

Great space the show tonight was Hubbard Dance and was very well done.

Fabulous space!I attended a Cities Striving for Peace event hosted by Arnie Duncan & his foundation. Great program!

Nice night with some good jazz music

I came to see Chaka Khan and the venue was beautiful. The quality of the sound was phenomenal, and it was overall a great time.

Im not really a theater person, but Ive gone to Harris Theater twice this year and have enjoyed each performance. The seating is set up so you can see the stage from every level. The ushers are helpful and in my experience pretty organized in directing us to our seats. The only comment that I have has nothing to do with the theater but more about the parking garages near the theater. You can park near the theater in Millennium Park garage but be aware of the level and space you dock your car as the garage is a bit confusing and does not have many signs that are helpful in finding your car.

Got loaded with Moby Dick for Salt Lake City. It took awhile but i got to watch them tear a set down. Its a lot of work. Travis knows his job!!!!Terry Harper was pretty cool too

Great view from all seats, very accecible

Great events for reasonable prices.

The theater is well designed and very cool though the grab lights in the lobby after the performance were a bit disorienting. The performance we saw-- Giselle-- was one of the most amazing things ever!

Awesome building in Grant Park and 3 min walk to famous cloud gate.

If youve never been here before the fact that the theater is underground may surprise you. We were looking for a large building and circled Randolph street a couple of times before noticing the theater. Once inside the staff was kind and helpful. We sat in the balcony to watch an American Ballet performance and every seat seemed to be a good seat. Refreshment were overpriced, $4 for one semi-large cookie. All things considered wed definitely come here again.

This subterranean theater is dark, dingy, and plain. But it houses many fine musical events and the acoustics are good.

I really enjoyed myself! Singer, Brenda Starr

This is a place I would like to visit more often.

Great venue for inexpensive performances, films, festivals, and about anything else. Really great acoustics for this type of environment too.

The seats that fall under handicap accessible are the worst. Theyre just fold out seats. The bathrooms were plentiful and clean its just there is always a bit of wait and timing to get to the womens and back to your seat. Viewing of the production was fairly unobstructed and sound for singing and music good.

Modern theater, diverse audience -loved it, and a magnificent concert.

This is a pretty nice theater, I attended several Chicago Ideas Week events here and the sight lines are pretty good. There are a lot of stairs that are hard concrete, and the elevators are somewhat limited. Street level is above the upper balcony level, and the main floor seating is three levels down. Restrooms seemed somewhat small for the size of the venue. Seats were a good width but the armrests are very awkward, too high to be comfortable (I am about 56) and if you bring your elbows into your sides, the armrest is hard and presses into your upper arm.

Great theater, both by productions and the theater itself! Not the most handicap accessable place, but it is accessable. Really cool that its 5 stories under!

Beautiful performance of Handels Messiah

Its okay.. seen better

I really like this space. You enter at street level where the ticket windows are, and the orchestra level is actually down a few stories. There arent any awful seats. A lot of it is terraced, so you dont have to worry about tall people blacking your view, etc. Drinks for sale in the lobby before the show and you can take it to your seat. The ushers were very friendly.

We attended the Chicago Gourmet Global StrEats for the evening. The staff was friendly and helpful. The tented rooftop is a lovely setting that may have benefited from outdoor heaters. The three hour event didnt offer a wide variety of drinks or food. Also the entertainment, although interesting, was limited. One of the Chicago Gourmet events not worth attending.

Enjoyed Lakecia Benjamin. Awesome saxophonist!!

Beautiful theater it was clean and temperature was just right. Very good performance as well definitely will be going back!

Nice post modern theatre if youre into that sort of thing. Im not. Hard to leave if youre in a hurry. One stair well,3 flights and two small elevators. It took forever to get out, missed my train cause of it.

Great seats wherever you sit

Great place to see a performance and a good event space. Easy access, lots of comfortable seating and a nice layout that makes it easy to navigate even when its at capacity.

I was here for a graduation. Really nice. Finding parking was not easy.

This was was awesome and the manager was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable.

It was my sons college graduation, we had a great time!!

Harris theater is a great medium-large size venue for concerts and shows in downtown Chicago. It has underground parking attached to theater that is convenient to use.

I enjoy attending performances at the Harris Theatre tremendously. The Harris also offers Excellant family programming, that I share with my grandchildren.

The design is very spare and modern, but the acoustics and sight lines are very good. Its a convenient and well designed venue.

Loved it...however, being from the suburb a little bit of a difficult commute..

Excellent acoustics and easy to reach on public transportation

Nice space, big, not super kid friendly. We saw iMagician, which wasnt really a great show in general, but especially for kids. Found it difficult to park, and rough to navigate the lobby and theater with kids, lots of steps, very small so crowded. Not sure Id go back unless the show was really great, and I wouldnt take kids here.

Great space to see dance; they bring in great companies.

Such a wonderful offering of programs! Something for everyone.

Best kept secret in Chicago...tucked away underground near the Lake in the heart of downtown..Great sight lines, sound and service. Saw lots of shows here including Jennifer Holiday and Soul Children of Chicago (Fall 2011). Great parking and public transportation. Thanks so very much for the entertainment!

A awesome experience and great overall staff

Nice place to see a variety of music and dance performances. Every seat is a good seat.

What a great place to connect with the Chicago community and experience an eclectic of art and culture!

Absolute breathtaking theater! They have really fantastic dancing here -- they perform many different types - classical, jazz, modern, etc. Really terrific! I loved my time there. Great dance performers and music. It would be the best couple of hours youve ever spent! Try to leave a bit earlier at the end because the elevators get swamped quick. There is, I believe, about 4 floors in this very modern, glass encased building.

Very nice place. Convenient parking. We had great time

Very well designed & constructed performance venue. Fantastic acoustics, great view of stage from all seats, even balcony. Attached for fee parking in millennium garage.

Attended a conference here and it was well run and a nice venue.

Great acoustics! Unobstructed views of the stage.Comfortable seating.
