The Paramount is a beautiful theatre (I've taken a few tours through there) and those clips look pretty good. I wish I could make it to the Chicago area to catch this.

Is the Paramount where Jersey Boys played? If so, I went on a tour of that theatre when I visited Chicago a few years ago. I really wanted to see the Fox, but Addamms Family was getting ready to start previews so the Paramount was used as a substitute.
Which Fox do you refer to as I never heard of a Fox theater in Chicago?
My mistake, The Oriental was what I was thinking of.
A gorgeous theater which I saw back in the 70's. Thank God it survived the destruction that befell most of the loop theater. I miss the United Artiists.
