I just got back from touring the newly-restored D&R Theater. Gorgeous! Better than I remember. Very classy.
The chandeliers are especially amazing. Turns out there were only a couple of the smaller ones left so Yonich commissioned replicas to be made. When they arrived, the crystals had to be hung one at a time. Well, I sure wouldn't have the patience for that myself but I'm glad somebody did.
Everything has been done with good taste. The decor is simple yet elegant. This is really going to be a jewel for Aberdeen.
If the Emerald Queen comes here and if The Morck can be restored next, Aberdeen is set. Just add in the GH Historical Seaport docks/museum and Aberdeen is really gonna be back on the map.
I'm impressed and encouraged.
I've got to check it out sometime. The last time I was in there was the early 80's and while it was showing its age it was 100 million times better than those crackerjack box cinemas at the mall.
Do they plan to ever show movies again, or is it just music etc?
