We've had multiple frustrating experiences with the box office and won't be back. Highly recommend others avoid this theater if they want to avoid being ripped off.

For one ticket purchase, my wife explicitly requested tickets for the 7pm performance of Illinoise. The ticket agent confirmed this choice multiple times; however, upon reviewing the tickets the night before the show, we discovered an error. We were mistakenly booked for the 2pm show, which we were unable to attend due to our travel schedule until late afternoon.

Attempts to rectify the situation by reaching out to the box office were unsuccessful, as their availability is limited to a few hours during the week. Additionally, our Bard card, purchased during a previous Christmas, presented another challenge. Despite initially resolving a malfunction by phone with the box office and being assured of the card's flexibility for future bookings, we were later informed that it was no longer valid when we attempted to use it for a new show.

These issues have not only caused considerable inconvenience but also resulted in a financial loss of several hundred dollars. The box office is almost impossible to get ahold off (even their online messaging platform doesn't work/won't submit) and they apparently don't care about honoring commitments once they have your money.

I’m a chicago newbie, a NYC transplant and resolved not to buy any theatre subscription( one play is excellent, one terrible , one meh , and one can’t go and no one wants my freebie ticket) but I fell for the hot lineup at Shakespeare theatre.
I am so glad I did. Loved Notebook and its music, was so very familiar with Measure for Measure and thought it well done and enjoyable ( people sitting next to me knew nothing in advance and were confused and disappointed). I’m a Bronte fan and can’t wait for Wuthering heights. Reviews from London and NY were brilliant and I think Shakespeare theatre will do the same production.

The theatre itself was intimate and comfortable. Really don't think there was a bad seat in the house. We got to see their production of the brand new musical, "The Notebook". It was EXCELLENT!

It Came From Outer Space - outstanding play, the actors were very impressive, the set was a great job of improvising. It was a lot of fun and I think most, if not all, of the audience enjoyed it.

The only reason I gave four stars instead of five was the website for booking seats at the Upper Theater. They show a normal theater design with a center and two side aisles. But they don't tell you that the side aisles are not accessible, they are blocked off. So when I booked seats F1&2 I thought naturally we had an aisle and easy access. But no - we were 14 seats down the row. I would have not bought these tickets if they told me this. It would be easy to fix this on their website.

I took my family here at Christmastime to see the Q Brothers performance of "A Christmas Carol" and everyone had such a fun time! I am looking forward to visiting again soon and bringing the family!

Lively, creative, and well performed adaptation of 500-year-old rom-com. Strong triple threat cast who act, sing and dance very well in this Bard and Beatles collaboration of "As you like it". The 23 Beatles songs organically integrate with the Bard's text. We came from Birmingham AL for an overnight trip to see a matinee and loved every minute. Could easliy transfer to Broadway.

Remarkable! Energetic! Fresh! Joyous! Sunshine! What a way to venture back into live theater after a 20 month dearth. Chicago Shakespeare Theater delighted us with their current staging of As You Like It. They cleverly wove Shakespeare's story with many popular Beatles songs set in the 60s and it worked wonderfully. I was surprised to hear of the 2 hour and 35 minute running time before the show started, but I sat on the edge of my seat taking it all in and the time flew by. I couldn't help dancing in my seat and was thrilled when we were encouraged to clap along. The actors/musicians were marvelous and deserving of the standing ovation. I plan to spread the word to family and friends to pack the house for the run of this innovative and sure to be a hit production. You really shouldn't miss it.

The Comedy of Errors was a fabulous show. That's the short review. Backstory below:

My teen daughter is studying Shakespeare as part of an unschooling, self directed curriculum. She has read several plays in the past year, both tragedies and comedies.

I had never read The Comedy of Errors, but I saw it performed in 1993, the fourth season of Orlando Shakes when they peformed outdoors at the Lake Eola bandshell. It was tons of fun and I've never forgotten. I assumed, therefore, that the kiddo would enjoy reading the play, and well, she didn't. She thought it was pretty stupid and annoying.

Hmm, methinks it is perhaps reliant on the magic of visual comedy rather than the written word, and I told her so. Regardless, she was less than interested in bothering with these silly twins again in any format. So I had to drag her to one of the last traveling shows that the Chicago troupe provided for local junior high and high shoolers at one of our university performing arts centers, mere days before the looming COVID-related stay-in-place orders fell into place.

We discussed in advance whether the setting would be true to the timeframe of the original play, or stylized to a different period, which is common to many Shakespeare adaptations, and this was placed in what looked like a 1920's (or maybe a bit earlier - I'm not great at placing this kind of thing) setting.

Most importantly, the show was funny, almost from the first moment the players came onstage, and consistently throughout. In spite of her crabby self, my teen was quickly taken in by the slapstick, the tongue-in-cheek, the sight gags, and let go of the sometimes cumbersome nature of the words as actually written and spoken.

She learned that sometimes, (as explained by the cast before the show started) a story can be understood without comprehending, or even hearing, every single word. Furthermore, a tale can be enjoyed, even if it makes little sense in the real world. Characters can be admired, in spite of their imperfections. Physical movement and staging can build additional layers of entertainment into a script. And a Q & A session with the cast after the show is definitely worth staying for.

She learned, as I had in 1993, that this is a darn fine work by perhaps the greatest playwright of all time, particularly when handled with great passion, care and skill by a professional quality cast and crew. Well done, Chicago Shakespeare and thank you for bringing joy back into our Shakespeare curriculum.

I was in Chicago for 4 days and I was right there at Downtown. I visited the Navy Pier twice and I am not sure how I missed the Shakespeare Theater. I feel really sad now that I am back.

Navy Pier was the highlight of my trip and I just loved that place. Lake Michigan was so alluring and enticing each time I visited. But as they say, there's always a next time. I am sure I will catch up with the Shakespeare Theater next time.
