What a treasure! I saw Priscilla Queen of the Desert and it was FABULOUS! Sam in the box office was so nice and remembered talking to me when I picked up the tickets at will call! All the staff were accommodating and warm. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in the area!

I have been pleasantly surprised every time I have seen a show here. Such a cool small theater experience. I am glad it came back post-covid closure I'll be coming more often.

Questions & Answers

Are they asking for tests if not vaccinad?

Lance Woodrum | Dec 24, 2021

Mercury Theater Chicago will be requiring audience members to provide proof of vaccination either with a physical copy of their vaccination card or on a smartphone along with a valid photo I.D. or a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of the performance start time, or a negative COVID-19 antigen (rapid) test taken within 6 hours of the performance start time. Over-the-counter β€œhome” tests cannot be accepted. Regardless of vaccine status, patrons will be required to wear face coverings at all times and in all areas, including while seated during the performance. Patrons arriving without appropriate face coverings will be provided a disposable face mask. For your safety, as well as our artists and staff, Mercury Theater Chicago and Venus Cabaret Theater will not admit any guests who do not provide the documentation as required above.

Where is disabled seating located in the theater? Which aisles/rows are considered accessible? I know I can simply mark that I want accessible seats but I want an idea of what I would be getting. Thanks!

I'm not sure where exactly the accessible seats are, but it's a small theater and whether you're on the sides or in the back you'll have a good view. I bought second row tickets for Little Shop of Horrors and actually wished I was back one or two more rows. The sound is great in there, too!

Is this a safe neighborhood?

No, it's very dangerous.

What is the "obstruction" in the left and right balcony seats? Just a low wall and handrail? Can you see well enough around/over it?

Vickie Rayhill | Sep 21, 2019
Mercury Theater Chicago | Sep 21, 2019

These seats are on the sides of the balcony. They are comfortable and angled toward the stage, but you will be looking off to one side (or the other) Some people prefer to look straight onto the stage and that is why these are considered obstructed view. There are no pillars or objects in the way. There is a small railing.

This venue performs plays, not concerts

The great thing about the theater is once you get there they will help your situation hopefully would be able to possibly switch your seats. There is truly not a bad seat in the entire place.

How does your theater differ from others

Nevaeh Bannis | Sep 21, 2018
Eugene Dizon | Sep 21, 2018

Mercury Theater Chicago offers and intimate play going experience. Our audience is within 10 rows of the stage and they feel a part of the action. We have made musical theater a specialty although we host a variety of productions. Our shows appeal too many different audiences. Additionally Mercury Theater Chicago has an adjoining restaurant and a new cabaret space.
