CHICAGO–Teatro ZinZanni offers a unique and captivating dining experience that combines gourmet cuisine with world-class performances. As we ventured into this immersive dinner show, the evening was immediately filled with laughter and acrobatics.
Upon entering the intimate space, we were immediately transported to a bygone era of glamour and spectacle. The venue's vintage ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable night of entertainment. The ornate surroundings, adorned with mirrors and
rich fabrics, create an atmosphere that blends seamlessly with the thrilling acts.
We had prime seating in the Center Ring which offered front row treatment for the centric stage boasting the ability to rise and lower, guaranteeing spectacular views from any seat in the house.
The ticket price includes a 4-course meal including an appetizer, salad, entree choice, and a dessert. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to complement the evening's artistry, ensuring a sensory delight for the palate, and timed perfectly to the performance, allowing for a relaxing culinary journey throughout the evening.
As the first course is served, the lights dim, and the stage comes alive with a burst of energy. A cast of talented performers, including comedians, musicians, and acrobats take center stage, captivating the audience with their skillful acts and engaging personalities. Our personal favorite was the magician and comedian, Lucy Darling, played by Carisa Hendrix. She engaged the crowd and pulled-in members of the audience for captivating and hilarious acts sprinkled in-between the world of
whimsy and wonder.
Throughout the evening, the show seamlessly integrates with the dining experience, creating a dynamic and interactive performance. We seriously were laughing heartily at a comedic sketch one moment and marveling at the breathtaking acrobatics the next. The trapeze acts pushed the boundaries of aerial technique with eye-catching tricks and enthralling style, an amazing aerial hoop performance, a fascinating hair hang aerlist, and a mouth dropping contortionist. Teatro ZinZanni's eclectic mix of entertainment ensures there's something for every taste, making it an ideal choice for the perfect adult night out!
Even the waitstaff, clad in elegant attire, added to the overall charm, providing impeccable service that made you completely forget the outside world for a couple hours. Additionally, parking was easy, convenient, and affordable as the venue also discounts the rate.
An unforgettable night not to be missed.
