Is the "Wicked" oriental theatre haunted after a chicago disaster
2010-12-30 23:24:00 Just heard a crazy story about how chicago's infamous oriental theatre is haunted. And its supposedly because of an incident that happened on this very day, 107 years ago...

Close Up View of Chicago's Auditorium Theatre
2010-12-25 00:07:00 A night out to see the Joffrey perform is an ideal break from your daily work life and a wonderful way to spend time over the holidays. There is something therapeutic about the entire experience, from witnessing the beauty on stage to the classic music hitting your ears as it is beautifully played out by the Chicago Sinfonietta Orchestra. And yet, we often forget about the details of where we stand, surrounded by the majestic architecture of the Auditorium Theatre. It is one of a kind, unlike any theater I have performed in, and am proud to call it my home theater for the Joffrey. Even after all this time, it is in spectacular shape and is almost like standing...
