James M. Nederlander Theatre (formerly Oriental Theatre)
If you've ever seen a show in Chicago, you may have been inside of one of the "most haunted places in the world" and not even known it.
One of the "42 Most Haunted Places in the World" is the James M. Nederlander Theatre in downtown Chicago, a new report from Condé Nast Traveler said. The famed theatre, originally known as the Iroquois Theater, and then the Oriental Theatre, at 24 W. Randolph Street, opened in 1903. That same year, nearly 600 people died after a fire broke out during a performance of a comedy-musical called "Mr. Bluebeard."
"As the show began its second act at 3:15 that afternoon, a spark from a stage light ignited nearby drapery," and excerpt from a Smithsonian Magazine account of the event read. "Attempts to stamp out the fire with a primitive retardant did nothing to halt its spread across the flammable decorative backdrops..It was soon apparent that the fire could not be contained. Audience members bolted from their seats toward what few exit doors they could find, but most were obscured by curtains."
The account, which refers to the event as "The Great Chicago Fire Disaster," goes on to say that "hundreds" of bodies piled up in the theater, with the space next door transforming into both a morgue and hospital.
In 1926, the theater became the Oriental Theatre after it was rebuilt and refurbished. In 2018, the theater was renamed to the James M. Nederlander Theatre, after the founder of Broadway in Chicago.
