The Chicago Theatre is a National Landmark hosting hundreds of concerts, comedians, theatrical productions and special events every year. The vertical "C-H-I-C-A-G-O," sign has become an iconic symbol of State Street and the city of Chicago. The venue offers the "Chicago Theatre Marquee Tour", which takes guests on a history-filled journey from the inception of this majestic venue in 1921, all the way to its present day incarnation as a premiere entertainment venue. The Marquee Tour encompasses historical and architectural highlights of the building, including the Grand Lobby areas, sweeping staircase and majestic auditorium.
