Broadway Playhouse

Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place is an intimate theater nestled just off Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, known for hosting touring Broadway productions, hit comedies, and special events in a comfortable, modern setting. Located inside the Water Tower Place complex with its busy mix of shops, dining, and nearby attractions like the historic Chicago Water Tower, the area draws heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic, especially evenings and weekends, making it a vibrant but congested destination.

Because the theater sits in a dense downtown shopping and entertainment district, on-street parking is limited, metered, and highly competitive, with strict time limits and active enforcement that can add stress to your visit. Reserving parking near Broadway Playhouse in advance helps you avoid circling crowded one-way streets and ensures you can head straight from your car into the mall and theater with time to spare before curtain. Planning ahead for secure garage parking is especially helpful for out-of-town visitors or those unfamiliar with local parking rules, and travelers should always verify current regulations and guidance from official Chicago and venue sources before their trip.
