When are renovations beginning on the Sondheim (formerly Henry Miller's) Theatre?

If I remember correctly, ALL ABOUT ME closed on April 4th. When I was last in the city on June 23rd, everything from ALL ABOUT ME was still up and the theatre hadn't even been touched. When are they starting the makeover?

How much makeover must be done, aside changing the theatre name? It's a brand spanking new space.

I would assume they are just waiting to put up the new marquee when the producers of Pee Wee Herman are ready to put up theirs. Save a little bit on labor costs by just doing both jobs at once, rather than piecemeal it.

Kad, by renovations, I mean changing the facade and such. I know the inside is all new (and quite nice I must say).

Kad, for future reference, "renovations" is a term that is used for changes made for any show after another one has been there. More often called "restoration". Quizking, as AEA AGMA SM says, these things almost always happen just prior to the new show coming in.

They changed the facade already. All they need to do is change the marquees.
