Opened as a vaudeville house in 1926, the 2,300-seat Palace was the flagship of the legendary Orpheum Circuit. The theater had many incarnations through the years, from banquet hall to B-movies. It was used sporadically through the 1990s, and was renovated at a cost of $17 million. The theater reopened in 1999 with the Chicago premiere of Elton John and Tim Rice's "Aida". The interior decor was inspired by the grand French palaces at Fontainebleau and Versailles.
