Additional information
The Ambassador Theatre has enjoyed an illustrious run as a playhouse since its opening in 1921, notably becoming a hub for operettas and musical comedies in its early years and serving as a radio broadcasting center and movie house during the 30s leading up to the 50s. It has staged several award-winning productions, including Suzan-Lori Parks’ Pulitzer-prize-winning Topdog/Underdog (2002) and an adaptation of The Great Gatsby (1926) by Owen Davis. In 2003, Chicago transferred to the Ambassador from Shubert, continuing its historic run.
