What a beautiful old palace! I wonder how the handled the proximity of the back wall of the stage to the proscenium, most of these old girls just don?t have the room for any larger scale groups and the fixes are usually to costly to implement or destroy the aesthetics. Maybe they had the room to go out the back with an addition.

Hi

I think they increased the stage from front stage to back flap . I taped the show and you had 3 drummers ,keyboard ,hammond,guitars and extra back up singner.

Same thing with the imperial theatre in Montreal
If your gonna renovate may as well go all the way. I noticed that one camera had a wide angle lens which of course makes it look wider.

It was a good show and good production.

We have a beautifully restored theatre in Sioux City also. It's called The Orpheum, and there is a website, but very limited photos. But if you visit the website, you can get a little bit of an idea of the grandeur of the place. It's really breathtaking! And by the way, they now have Meyersound stuff, but I do have a couple of the original 600b's that were on the walls for the original theater!
