Chicago Theatre to be sold to major New York producer

Chicago Tribune: "'Madison Square Garden has agreed in principle to purchase the Chicago Theatre,' said a statement from a spokesman for Madison Square Garden Entertainment. 'However, there remain several additional details that must be worked out before the purchase can be finalized. We look forward to completing the transaction as quickly as possible and will comment further at the appropriate time.'"

Hailing from Chicago myself, I am absolutely torn to see this happen. This reminds me of when the beloved Marshall Fields on State was taken by a New York enterprise. Even the fact that theatre in Chicago bares the name "Broadway Chicago" shows how subservient we are to New York City. This will no doubt put a different face upon the classy and historic theatre I have always loved.
