The Windy City and the Great White Way: A Match Made in Musical Heaven?
This post tackles a question that might leave you scratching your head, or perhaps belting out a show tune in confusion: How many Broadway theatres are in Chicago?
Hold on to your Playbills, folks, because this one might surprise you!
So, what's the deal?
Here's the not-so-shocking truth...there are zero, zilch, nada official Broadway theaters in Chicago. That's right, folks. Broadway theatres are specifically located in the Theatre District of Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Chicago, while a fantastic city with a thriving theater scene, doesn't have any of those famous Broadway houses.
But hey, let's add a little humor to this. Think of it this way: Chicago makes up for its lack of Broadways with an abundance of something else entirely...deep-dish pizza! We're talking enough deep-dish pies to feed a whole cast of Hamilton!
Don't Despair, Musical Lovers!
Chicago boasts a rich theater history and a plethora of world-class stages. From the historic Goodman Theatre to the stunning Auditorium Theatre, Chicago offers a smorgasbord of productions, from Tony Award-winning plays to captivating musicals.
So, while you might not find a true Broadway theatre in Chicago, you're sure to find an unforgettable night of entertainment!
Maybe you can use those saved Broadway ticket bucks on some deep-dish extravaganza (and believe me, it's worth it). Chicago's got plenty to offer theater lovers, even if it's not quite the glitz and glam of the Great White Way.
