ABOUT

“You Must See To Believe”

For over 26 years, Teatro ZinZanni has welcomed audiences to intimately staged productions featuring over-the-top theatrics paired with lavish food and drink. While each Teatro ZinZanni signature show is unique, the recipe is consistent: a dash of circus, a hint of Vaudeville, a whisper of cabaret, finished with TZ’s signature, not-so-secret ingredient: LOVE!

Founded in Seattle in 1998, Teatro ZinZanni’s productions unify the immeasurable talents from the best-of cirque, music, comedy, magic, and entertainment.

In 2019, Teatro ZinZanni’s signature antique Speigeltent was erected on the 14th floor of the Cambria Hotel in downtown Chicago, and TZ opened their first show in July of that year in the heart of Chicago’s Theatre District. In April 2025, Teatro ZinZanni announced a permanent residency of their signature show in Chicago, as well as Club ZinZanni, a presenting series highlighting the best of Chicago, national, and international talent – from music to drag to comedy to magic to cirque.

Each Teatro ZinZanni performance is distinctly interactive and playful: to attend Teatro ZinZanni is to be a part of Teatro ZinZanni. As of today, Teatro ZinZanni has entertained over 2 million guests and has staged over 120 distinctive original productions. A venerable institution that continually flips the script, Teatro ZinZanni is synonymous with a perfect night out – a sentiment shared by USA Today, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, The Seattle Times, and more.
