For those that are interested in such things, I passed by the Cort today, and it appears that it's getting a face lift. Scaffolding is set up all over the theatre's facade, which was looking pretty disheveled of late. A new marquee that is visible from Seventh Avenue would help that theatre immeasurably. The interior is lovely, so it really doesn't need much to be a viable house again.
The Shuberts also have been working on the Lyceum, and did some touch-up work on the Longacre prior to Virginia Woolf last spring. That's all wonderful, of course, but now I am praying that they give the Belasco the full restoration it so desperately needs prior to Awake and Sing in the spring.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.
