Arie Crown Theatre

Category: Theater-Opera

Arie Crown was a Lithuanian immigrant who became an American success story. Just 15 years old when he arrived in Chicago in 1875, he would eventually become one of Chicago's most successful businessmen and patriarch of a prominent family. The Theater that bears his name was completed in 1960 as part of the McCormick Place complex.

The Arie Crown's recent renovations (including correcting the acoustics and improving the aesthetics) and commitment to patron satisfaction will ensure that your experience will be a positive one. The theater, located just 2-1/2 miles south of downtown Chicago in Lakeside Center at McCormick Place, seats over 4,200. It hosts Broadway musicals, ballets, rock concerts and operas.
