Cadillac Palace Theater Chicago
 
Has anyone ever seen a performance here? Would like to get Lion King tickets for 9/26 or 9/27 and the tickets are a little hard to come by. Are there bad seats in the house? I know there are some limited view and I know I don't want those but for the ones that are "full view" are they worth it if they're high in the balcony for instance or off to one far side on the floor? Thanks

The theater is gorgeous but some seats (especially in the balcony can be off to the side and not the best. I wouldn't say they're bad b/c it's a relatively small theater but I'd pay the extra money if you can for better seats. One caveat-I know someone who was in the 3rd row and thought they were too close to get a good view of the costumes.

We saw Lion King at the Cadillac Palace in July. It is a small theater and beautiful and the show is excellent. The best seats would be Orchestra Center, Dress Circle, or Loge, but I would think that first row, center balcony would also be fine. Have fun!

I don't think you can get a really bad seat at this theater. I have paid alot of money to see shows at the Shubert and Auditorium and the seats were awful - way too high.
