Frequently asked questions

THE SHOW

I’ve never been to Teatro ZinZanni. What can I expect?

From the moment you step through the doors you will be transported into another world where performers break free from the confines of the stage and the action unfolds all around you. No two performances are alike as the wall between artist and audience disappears. A few guests may be invited to participate, many will enjoy table-side interaction with artists, and everyone will share in being a part of a one-of-a-kind celebratory event creating a memorable evening for all. If you want to learn more, contact Audience Services at 312-488-0900.

When should I arrive and how long is the show?

Performances are
  • Wednesday – Sunday Evenings:  Cocktail hour at 5:30 pm, show begins at 7:00pm
  • Sunday Brunch:  Doors open at 11:00am, brunch begins at 12:00pm
We encourage our guests to arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to the start of the show so they can enjoy our lounge and boutique and be seated promptly. Late seating is accommodated at the discretion of the maître d’. The show is approximately two and a half hours.

What is the dress code?

Dress to impress! Teatro Zinzanni is the perfect occasion to dress festively and celebrate. We encourage our guests not to wear t-shirts, shorts, or flip-flops.
