The one-time stable for Marshall Field's horses, built in 1901, this building was turned into a theater with excellent sight lines and fine acoustics in 1985. It has been home to the long-running "Blue Man Group" comedy/performance-art show since 1997. There is limited parking in an adjoining lot.

Great performance, been here a few times over the decade. Some original stuff is still a part of the show, nice to see new material . The front lobby area...

The Blue Man Group at Briar Street Theater in Chicago is still an impressive performance art show, but it's not what it used to be twenty years ago. The wow factor has been replaced with some gimmicky or low-brow comedy. Although there is not as much music as before, some cool stuff is mixed in. The show ends with a great moment, but the journey there is underwhelming. Overall, I would give the show three stars. While it's not as great as it used to be, it's still worth seeing, especially if you haven't seen it before. However, if you've seen it in the past, you may feel like something is missing, and it might not be as enjoyable as it once was. (Pics aren’t allowed during the show)

SO AMAZING!!! A must-see experience for ALL ages. Don't be afraid to talk up during the show and wave at the guys, especially if you're in the splash zone!! You're meant to be part of the show! Such a fun way to experience music, I'll forever love them 💙

It was a great show! I got pulled up on stage and had my silhouette painted! Only critique I can make is that the strobe lights were a bit excessive at times, but other than that I had a blast! Keep up the good work!

A very cozy theater, seeing the Blue Man group was cool I would definitely try to catch them again next time I'm in Chicago.
