Here's Chicago's Arie Crown Theatre, located inside the oldest section of the McCormick Place convention center. Before the Oriental,the Palace and the Auditorium were renovated, many of the big touring musicals used to play at this barn. I saw Lansbury and Hearn in SWEENEY TODD here.
Recently, the only shows that play here are Tyler Perry comedies, and other semi-musicals aimed at the African-American audience.
