Fun Facts

Opened in 1929, it was one of the five original Loew's Wonder Theatres, boasting over 3,000 seats and an opulent design inspired by the Palace of Versailles and the Paris Opera House.

After closing in 1977, Loew's Kings Theater remained shuttered until a major restoration project began in 2010, leading to its grand reopening in 2015.

The extensive renovation aimed to restore the theater's original grandeur while updating it to accommodate modern performances and audiences.

During the renovation, artisans discovered and restored intricate plasterwork and murals that had been concealed for years.

Since its reopening, the theater has hosted a wide range of events, from concerts and dance performances to comedy shows and community events.

The interior features a lavish French Renaissance style, with grand staircases, chandeliers, and detailed woodwork reminiscent of European palaces.

The theater received landmark status in 2012, recognizing its historical and architectural significance to the city.
