The Chicago Theatre, originally known as the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre, is a landmark theater located on North State Street in the Loop area of Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1921, the Chicago Theatre was the flagship for the Balaban and Katz (B&K) group of theaters. Along with the other B&K theaters, from 1925 to 1945 the Chicago Theatre was a dominant movie theater enterprise. Now the Chicago Theatre is a performing arts venue for stage plays, magic shows, comedy, speeches, and popular music concerts. It is owned by Madison Square Garden, Inc. The building was constructed at a cost of 4 million dollars and was designed by architects Cornelius W. Rapp and George L. Rapp. The entire marquee was replaced in 1994, but retains the look of its predecessor, which was not part of the original design. In 2004, the original marquee was donated to the Smithsonian Institution.
