About Theatre

James M. Nederlander Theatre: A Chicago Landmark’s Journey

The James M. Nederlander Theatre is located at 24 West Randolph Street in the Loop area of downtown Chicago, Illinois. Previously known as the Oriental Theatre, it opened in 1926 as a deluxe movie palace and vaudeville venue. Today, the Nederlander presents live Broadway theater operated by Broadway In Chicago. It currently seats 2,253.

The multi-story theater-house was constructed within the New Masonic office building, and both the skyscraper and theater were listed in 1978 on the National Register of Historic Places as New Masonic Building and Oriental Theater. The office building part is now a hotel. In 2019, the theater was re-named for theater impresario James M. Nederlander of the Nederlander Organization. Wikipedia
