The beautiful Ziegfeld theater in Manhattan will be the focus of our attention for the next three weeks. Seating over 1000 patrons in a single theater, the classic red velvet and chandelier styling of the lobby and theater interior hark back to the stylish movie palaces of times gone. Don't be misled, however: as a premiere movie showcase, the Ziegfeld has a state-of-the-art digital surround sound system to accompany the excellent projection system and large screen. AND they still have a curtain that opens and closes between shows! This is the view from the front of the building that became most familiar to us during our long wait to journey within.
