Harris Theater Concerts 2025

We went here on Sunday December 17th to see The Nutcracker for the very 1st time. The place was a nice size. Seating doesnt allow for much leg room but overall the show was amazing. The dancers did such a great job and I truly appreciate the time of it and intermission.

This theater might not be as easy to get to as others but that should NOT deter you from visiting. The space is nice, clean and modern. Seats are relatively spacious. Especially when compared to older venues. The size of the auditorium is on the smaller side which lends itself to a more intimate feel. No such thing as a bad seat! And, to top it off, the staff are really kind and very helpful. Highly recommend catching a performance here!

At the north end of Millenium Park, the Harris Theater is a marvelous theater for live music and dance. I came for a Music of the Baroque concert and was very happy with the acoustics and site lines. You enter the theater on Randolph and go down multiple levels to reach the main floor. It is very interesting to enter above the balcony level. Important note: If you park in the Millenium Park garage, the theater will validate blue parking tickets. My ticket was white paper, though I parked in the Millenium Park garage, and they would not validate, so I had to pay full parking price, $30.

Nice venue. Excellent seating, stage is a bit lower than typical and provides a great view of what are often dance companies and their footwork. Staff is nice. Coat check line never had a long line. Has modern art museum vibe.

Whoever designed this theater was an absolute genius! The seats are all fantastic. The sound is amazing. And, perhaps most importantly, the flow and abundance of restrooms is phenomenal. I’ve never had a better theater going experience!
