Chicago Children's Theatre 100 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60607

"We have seen the performance “Mesmerized: A Ben Franklin Science & History Mystery”. It was wonderful! We highly recommend. All actors were amazing, and the staging was brilliant. 2 thumbs up!"

"We saw the Very Hungry Caterpillar show and it was an excellent performance. It was advertised to say hi to the cast and puppets after the show. My daughter immediately used the bathroom once the show ended. When we were done, the cast was gone. The cast was only out in the lobby for maybe 5 minutes. I would have appreciated it if they stayed around a bit longer. Other than that, highly recommend."

"We took our munchkin to see The Very Hungry Caterpillar during our trip pre-covid and it was am absolutely wonderful experience hence the 5 star rating. It was a magical experience. Our toddler was in awe the entire time. Even the adults were engaged. The kids even had an opportunity to engage with the characters afterwards and play with other children. It was a great experience. Definitely a place to visit especially if you have small children."

"COVID changes a lot, but CCT makes sure our kids can still enjoy a "hybrid" live theatre experience. Not crazy about being outside in this parking lot venue, but loved the option of being warm in the car. But the unavoidable aside, the sets, music, costumes, puppets and audience participation for Bea-Trix and Treats were creative, beautiful and memorable. Biggest endorsement of all: our 2- and 4-year olds were mesmerized for all 70 minutes of the show."

"We've visited The CCT when it was further north in the city and enjoyed each and every single play that we've seen. We've also experienced their BOING Fest and enjoyed seeing our children engage their creative sides in a way that we aren't able to always do in our home. Mostly because of the clean up! I highly suggest taking your family to see one of their productions as they take great care in them. You won't regret it."
