Kings Theatre
Description
The historic Kings Theatre reopened its doors in 2015 as one of New York's premier performing arts venues for both large-scale popular entertainment and local arts groups. The City-owned theater was originally one of the five lavish Loew's Wonder Theatres built in the 1920s, featuring high curved ceilings, ornate plaster walls, wood paneling and a glazed terracotta ornamental facade. The redevelopment project both revived the structure's original splendor and transformed it into a state-of-the-art live entertainment venue with more than 3,000 seats—the largest of its kind in Brooklyn.
