The show was fantastic. The seats are small I had to slide my hips into place. Lol 😆 my only issue through is the parking garage. The event I attended was sold out all 4,200 seats when the show was over, with one way in the underground garage and one way out... Let's say it took over an hour to get up out of there. I just prayed that nobody seen somebody they didn't like or had beef with cause this can be very dangerous for everyone waiting to inch out of this place. Do something about parking and the venue would get a 4 1/2 star 🌟 the other half is the tiny 💺 💺

Visited Arie Crown Theater in Chicago. In Feb 24, 2024 with my wife, daughter and son in law. After spending an hour in line to get to the parking garage, we figured the show we came to see would be worth it. The show wasn't bad but our interaction with the Arie Crown Theater staff and company was horrible. My wife who is 70 years old, tripped on the buckled carpet in the balcony where our seats were located. We sat through the last part of the show, my wife tripped coming from the restroom at intermission. She made it down to the ground level. Then we contacted management. They did provide a wheel chair and took an incident report. Our party left that Saturday night, my wife went to Urgent Care Sunday morning. She suffered a fracture of her foot and sprsnged ankle. After three months of doctor visits and PT we contacted Arie Crown's contact insurance adjuster. They just recently sent us a letter by mail to the effect they take no responsibility and are not at fault basically. "What a lousy outfit" Needless to say we will never visit another performance at this venue. I guess the hour long wait to get into the parking lot was a sign of this business' overall dealings. Not professional, you can "SKIP" performances here in my opinion. Just got a response from the insurer for the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago on South DuSable Drive on 6/10/24. My wife had sent in her medical bills for her tripping incident on 2/24/24. Her insurer writes back that they are not responsible for the loose carpeting in their balcony that caused the trip. So, they claim they will not cover medical expenses. BEWARE of this place. Take out a separate insurance policy if you ever plan on attending a function here. This is what you may get as far as treatment. If they respond like this to patrons, What else would they do or not do. BEWARE!

The comedy show that I went to see was great. However, the parking situation was horrible. After the show we sat in their parking garage for over an hour unable to leave. There was no one there to really regulate exiting the garage. I dont know why it took so long to leave the garage, but for the amount of money you have to pay for the event and parking it was absolutely ridiculous! Also, the building was so outdated. The women's restroom was so small and only two of three stalls were in service. The line for the restroom was out the door. I loved the comedy show, but I hope that they have it somewhere else next year. I guess you're supposed to leave early to beat the crowd and parking lot idiocracy, but you shouldn't have to when you pay good money for an event.

Well I’m not from the area it was in the middle of no where and it was dark so it was kind of scary looking, I thought it was a college university and it’s a lil run down and the seats are close and I’m tall so I’m was a lil uncomfortable. My show was great though, I was at a deray New Years comedy festival. It’s very congested if you take a Uber. And like I said before it’s in the middle of no where I ordered 2 Ubers in a row , and it said they was a minute away and made a wrong turn twice and I had to cancel. So I waited about 30 mins for a Uber that was close.It’s in the middle of no where so Ubers might have a hard time finding it

Not What I Thought, it was chaos. Not organized also not setup for dissable people. We were in a group and the group consists of wheelchair, walkers and blind individuals there was no help at all. Other ticket holders tried to help us not the staff my husband and myself helped as much as we could, to the point people where asking us where to go as if we where part of the staff that was a shame my husband was working for free on his birthday😕 I will not in my lifetime go back there. At least not for a sold out show. The show was Tyler Perry's last Madea show & Arie Crown Theater dropped the ball.
