LaSalle Bank Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The LaSalle Bank Theatre (formerly the Sam Shubert Theatre) is a Chicago theatre now owned by the Nederlander Organization. It is located at 18 West Monroe Street in the Chicago Loop area downtown.

[edit] History

The theatre originally opened in 1906 as the Majestic Theatre, after its namesake encompassing building, The Majestic. Forced to close during the Great Depression, the theatre was purchased by the Shubert Organization in 1945, remodeled, and reopened as the "Sam Shubert Theatre." It was sold to the Nederlander Organization in 1991 and, in 2005, underwent restoration and a name change to the LaSalle Bank Theatre. By some sources, it was once Chicago's tallest building.[1]
