Teatro ZinZanni Chicago - Chicago, Illinois

LaShelle Newland

This was a great interactive theatrical performance, comedy, cirque cabaret experience. It is a solid 3 hours of full immersion into a world of amazement. Thank you to the whole team - performers, production, hospitality staff, and musicians for curating this amazing show! Special shout out to Krista, Jake and the fabulous Taylor for taking such good care of me!

If you are a native to Chicago or a visitor - definitely put this on your to do list!

Show was much more than expected. Previously avoided because the food element was unappealing. Learning that there were tickets with no food enticed us to go. Later finding out that food /snacks were available a la carte made us happy. Then seeing that said food and drink were not at gouging prices had us munching and imbibing !! But the best part was the incredible talent of the band providing the background for the performances and the dinner service breaks. It’s a musical revue with killer singers, some drag (sorry Doily but you went on a bit long in most of your bits) and some alt-circus acts. Throw in characters like a firefighter, an air hostess, a neurotic whatever Maria was and it was fun !!

Venue itself is lovely and there are plenty of bathrooms and lobby loitering seating.

I understand this version of the show ends at the end of March after 18 months and a whole new show with different cast will start. We’re intrigued !!

As soon as you walk in the setup leading to the theatre is great. This is a dinner and show and the show was fantastic as there is constant interaction of the performers or staff during intermission. The performers are talented and you will not be dissatisfied. I didn’t want to ding the venue or performers hence why I gave it 5 stars. The drinks were good they have specialty cocktails, but I opted for wine which was good. The food was just not that great there was options for upgrades and maybe that would have been better, but when food is being made in massive quantities in a short time dont expect much. The food was not warm and lacked flavor. The presentation of the food was nice. We opted for 2 appetizers, salad, main dish and dessert. The appetizers were ok and the salad was good, but they served a whole leaf of a salad so you had to cut it into pieces yourself to eat it. The main dish was chicken and was a decent portion, but it was so dry. The dessert was good, but the portion was extremely small, it was more for a child. Overall the experience was fun and would recommend it to anyone just dont expect much from the food.

If you are in Chicago as a resident or a visitor, you need to make this show part of your life! It was tremendously well written and implemented from entering the downstairs lobby to having a representative help keep the elevators moving at the end of the show. Everything in between was phenomenal. The caliber of performers could not be better…every single performer was amazing and best of the best! Doily was a perfect MC, making for the most fun and heartfelt evening. The choreography, to include all staff at times throughout the show, and with professional routines by the lead performers was stunning! All three in our party couldn’t stop raving about how every act was a good as all those before it. Bravo, and keep up the amazing work!

This is one show I recommend everyone to come see if you are in Chicago! Cambria hotel is close to State street aka Macy/Chicago Theater. I would arrive early so you can enjoy the place to yourself to take pictures and videos without the crowd. You do have to coat check since you can not have anything hanging off your chair!

Every seat in the house is a great seat. The venue is small and cozy. Loved how everyone interacted with you. The energy is wonderful and the singing was amazing! This show has little of everything. I did a solo trip and basically had a VIP table all to myself and I did not feel left out at all. I ordered the truffle fries and they were amazing. They made the simple food taste amazing. I wasn't a big fan of my entree but that tofu whip and peanut chili stuff was amazing. I do wish they had other options for vegetarians especially since not all of us like vegetables lol.

Be ready to spend more money because you will end up buying drinks, adding appetizers, or even upgrading your entree/desserts.

I went to a manatee show and basically took up most of my day...it is 21/2hr show. The jokes are hilarious and might not be kid appropriate but most of that might go over their heads anyway. I think kids would find them hilarious and enjoy the show. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon! I can't not wait to come back with my son!

This was such a fantastic experience from the music to the dancing, to the comedy. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this show, but I'm happy to say it did not disappoint, at all. The drinks were great, the actors and performers were amazing, and I would definitely go back the next time I visit Chicago.

Well organized and timely. Food and drinks were very good and the show/entertainment was excellent. Interactive non stop with breaks timed perfectly. A great time. Highly recommend it. Will be returning with other friends and family.

Absolutely incredible. LOVED it. I feel throughly entertained. Dolly was AMAZING. The food was better than . I had the vegetarian option. My cheeks still feel strained from laughing so hard. Do not leave Chicago without this experience.
