With the Marquis Theatre closed for refurbishment, what does a refurbishment entail?

They will probably replace the seats and do some new interior design to the walls.

Okay Bob thanks for that, do they do any other projects? I thought that's what they do, but can't they do refurbishment with the theater open, if they had very good project management and say take say 4/5 rows off sale and refurbish with new carpet and seats as they go, but leave the theatrer open?

For a whole lot of reasons, no they can't work on the theater while a show is in it. This is a comparatively new theater. They probably won't be doing much more than a little sprucing up.

They are doing a lot more than just a little sprucing up. They are re configuring a lot of the backstage area and stage door due to the area being used for the new stores being built under the Marriott.

The whole backstage area is being reconfigured. I hope they do something with the Theatres lobby. It's basically just steps and the bars.

Good to hear. It was a very poorly designed theater.

Any estimate on when the renovations are going to be completed? Summer? End of the year?

All new furbish of course.

The Marquis marquee is coming down, I guess they are getting a new one?

To think this monstrosity replaced the Morosco & Helen Hayes
