Did anyone call him Bill? I don't think so, but you never know :)
Shakespeare's work will never die and still thrives around the world to this day. Is Shakespeare the world's most famous author (non-biblical) of all time.
Thanks in part to theaters like this stunning one at our own Navy Pier William's work not only lives but these actors breath new live into it. The multi-million dollar theater or theatre if you will was modeled after the origional Globe Theater as another reviewer Tabitha S. has pointed out.

The acoustics are terrific in this beautiful and historic hall. There is not a bad seat in the house, because of the way it is designed. They of course feature classical concerts , but also have jazz , pop or choral concerts as well. The great Ravi Shanker even played here last year. I had the honor of singing in a choir here some years ago. I feel this place is a must see when visiting Chicago.

This is not only a landmark that bears the name of our great city, it's a spectacular venue for concerts, plays as well as corporate and private events. The architecture is stunning. This place has welcomed many of the great entertainers in my time and way before my time here. I have had the pleasure of being backstage and have some interesting stories to tell also. The long running play Joseph was presented here a few years ago. This place has such an amazing history.

Highly recommended: I actually called because I had a question about Bulls Tickets and they walked me through their website and got even better ticket than I expected. Tickets were Fed Ex to my home and it was simple and easy. We are fired up for the Bulls this year and I will be back to get Bears tickets too. This is a great ticket service - tons of ticket inventory too.

Is it me, or are soap opera actors some of the worst?! Sure, there are your Davd Canary's and your Peter Bergman's, but for every one of them, there are 1,000 really bad actors.
That is what makes me appreciate Steppenwolf even more. They have GREAT actors here, and great writing. If there is one thing I truly appreciate, it's great acting and writing. This place is famous throughout the country for bringing in some of the best talent in theater. I am so impressed with what they do here and that they represent the best of the best. I also appreciate that they have their own parking facility because parking is impossible in this area on most days.

I loved the show "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind." It was pretty off the wall and not at all what I was expecting...but then again I really wasn't sure what to expect from this place! You have to climb all through the building to get to the area where they put on the plays and roll a die to determine the price of admission. I especially loved the Hall of Presidents! They have interesting artistic interpretations of our first 42 presidents. My favorite featured JFK as an angel proclaiming "Ich Bien En Deity." After rolling the die, you get a goofy name tag with a strange name (I was Yee Haw and my companion was "I love Yee Haw"). The plays in the show range from intense emotional insights into the player's life to the ridiculous, like "April Showers." In this "play" they just sprayed the audience with water! It's a great show to check out!

The theater is accessible through a small outside elevator added later and the accessible seats preovided a nice view.
The staff was helpful. We had a very good time.

The IMAX theater is located on the Navy Pier and it is a very exciting experience. While you will pay a bit more to watch a movie here than at a conventional theater, you will definitely be able to see the difference. The 3D aspect of this theater adds a whole new dimension to the experience of the movie. The theater is great too. Its in a nice, lively location and the theater is well kept and seating is really comfy. The only thing you might want to do is buy tickets online because they sell out fast. Also, parking can be expensive, so consider public transportation.

All through out the summer they shoot off fireworks at the pier. They also synchronize music to go with the fireworks, which is fun to grab a seat and listen to. If you have a view out that way from home, like I do, then you can turn into the radio station and enjoy it from home. The pier is a great place to hang out with friends. You don't need to spend money to enjoy yourself here.

Okay, so the seats are not too comfortable after more than an hour of sitting, but the slight discomfort is worth it. I saw a few plays there, of which the most memorable was BUG. Even when you sit in the back, it feels like you are close. The theater is located in a really nice area, close to plenty of good restaurants in various price ranges. I love Jerusalem Caffe or Hamachi sushi bar just a couple of blocks south.
