Paradise Theater is a concept album released by the rock band Styx in January 1981. The album, a fictional account of Chicago's Paradise Theater from its opening to closing (and eventual abandonment), is used as a metaphor for America's changing times. The signature song, "The Best Of Times" (written by group leader Dennis DeYoung), was a Top Ten hit.
