Riviera Theater

I saw Regina Spektor here earlier this year. It was alright. The architecture was grand and the whole place had a nice vintage feel to it. I was on the second floor which I think was the only seated area in the theater. The restrooms weren’t the most accessible so it is probably better if you just go ahead of time and then, y’know, don’t drink anything.

I was in Chicago for a wedding and needed something to do while the boys were at a bachelor party. I got tickets for what was described as a “live puppet show,” but turned out to be essentially a furries show. It was worth every minute and every penny.

what fine architecture and intimate setting. this 2,000 seat theater is located on the north side and offers a very close concert experience for music-lovers. i saw velvet revolver here when they were first coming out, and the balcony view and up-close atmosphere is incredible. i highly recommend using the red line or getting a cab if you come here.
