"New York City is the most popular place in the country to plan a trip based around theater - and for good reason; home to Broadway, Off Broadway, and Off-Off Broadway theaters, you could see multiple shows a day here and not get bored. However, just because New York has a reputation for being the nation's top theater destination doesn't mean that it's the only U.S. city with a fantastic theater scene."
"Multiple cities around the country have lively and vital arts communities, running everything from Broadway touring productions to old classics, new plays, and cutting-edge comedies. To uncover other great American theater destinations, we turned to Reddit - specifically, we turned to threads where theater lovers, actors, and frequent playgoers shared their favorite performance hubs outside New York. We cross-referenced these recommendations with local arts calendars, theater awards, and critic roundups to ensure each city on our list truly delivers a dynamic stage scene."
"If you're visiting Chicago during the winter, you're going to want to have some indoor activities lined up. Luckily, Chicago is a great city to catch some live theater. And, depending on your definition of theater, this fast-paced, frosty city is also a prime location to watch live comedy. Perhaps most famously, Chicago is home to The Second City, which hosts improv shows every night of the week."
