Wow. So sad to hear all those places are closing. All the local businesses are being snuffed out. I will try the Russian Tea Room next time I'm in the city. Here in Denver the same type of "progress" is taking hold, albeit a tad slower, but not by much. A slew of locally owned and maintained shoppes, bars and restaurants have been bulldozed to make way for massive mixed retail townhome/condo developments.

I saw Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Marquis. I was in high school, so I didn't have any kind of "taste level" really lol I was just so excited to see Sutton Foster, but looking back on it, it was truly an ugly theatre. Just a big 1970/80s looking concrete box. Was the house lighting fluorescent when Millie was running ? I don't really remember.

No... they fixed the house lighting years ago. I'm not sure if it was complaints from audiences, or they simply realized that what they initially installed was hideous. It took a few shows - perhaps a year, I don't remember - but, for several years now the house lights dim appropriately.

To me the Marquis much like the Minskoff are ugly boxes. They are theaters with no heart or soul. They are mere performance spaces.
