Ladies and gentlemen, the Bank of America Theatre
I had to see it for myself.
Honestly, though, I can't get as worked up about this as some people are. This isn't exactly the Provincetown Playhouse we're talking about. It's the theater where the Four Seasons cover band plays. When they leave, it'll still be what it has been for 102 years, which is a road house for touring companies from New York. Folks claiming a sentimental attachment to a name it hasn't had since 1932 (when the Majestic closed for 13 years, reopening in 1945 as the Shubert) kind of mystify me.
But Jersey Boys is part of Chicago's Cultural Heritage! IT IS INTEGRAL TO chicago theatre. (and covering every square inch of every bus in town)

To be honest, I think it's people who care more about the building than what goes up in the building.
And isn't it interesting that the loudest complainers are also the most virulent defenders of Equity?
