Bank of America Theatre

The Bank of America Theatre opened as the Majestic Theatre in 1906 and was Chicago's first million-dollar-plus venue and the city's tallest building at the time. A hot spot on the vaudeville circuit and later host to such luminaries as Harry Houdini and Lily Langtry, the Majestic closed during the Great Depression and was shuttered for 15 years. Much of the original design was retained when the theater was remodeled and reopened in 1945, in time for the heyday of favorites like Carousel, South Pacific, and Guys and Dolls

The Bank of America Theatre has hosted the pre-Broadway world premieres of Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp’s Movin’ Out and Monty Python’s Spamalot. It was also home to the long-running musical phenomenon, Jersey Boys. This April, the Bank of America Theatre will once again become home to the smash-hit Jersey Boys.
