Rialto Square Theatre – Joliet, IL Tickets

Discover the Iconic Rialto Square Theatre 

Step into the grandeur of one of Illinois’ most beloved performance venues—Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet. Known as the “Jewel of Joliet,” this stunning theatre brings elegance, history, and world-class entertainment together under one iconic dome. Originally designed in a Neo-Baroque style with influences from the Palace of Versailles and the Hall of Mirrors, the Rialto Square Theatre has been a landmark of culture and architecture since its grand opening in 1926. 

Built as a vaudeville movie palace, the Rialto Square Theatre has undergone careful restoration and modern enhancements while preserving its classical charm. Today, it hosts a wide range of performances—from Broadway musicals and concerts to comedy acts, family shows, and community events. Attending an event here is more than entertainment—it's a memorable experience.
