Once again thank you davebazooka for the pictures.As i was looking at them i mentally was walking through the Beekman, it is so much a part of my life i can still remember what it looked like the first day i walked in it back in 1982! On a another theater closing, The State theater in manahattan is going to close at the end of january.
gustavelifting i understand your point, but i spent many happy hours working there, it just won’t be the same when i go past the site. but yes at least there is a part of the beekman that remains and i thank you for your point
edsolero many of us feel the same way you do, i have managed both theaters, and although i did like them both, trust me the beekman was pure class, imiss it very much. As a matter of fact it was my first theater after i left Radio City Music Hall
the other day i heard that a theater owner on long island paid $10.000 dollars for the Beekman Sign, and he is going to refurbish it and place on display in his theater, when i get more info i’ll pass it on
I think Carol Lawerence took over for Ginger after she left. Another very fond memory is when Red Skelton Appeared at the Hall He also met with the pages, and was one of the sweetest people i’ve ever met, in fact he called my girlfriend a dear heart, and you could not get the smile off her face
Warren I don’t recall her doing any numbers from “Mame” I do rember being a very nice Lday who took the time to meet with the pages.It did run for 90 min.
In 1982we opened “A Midsummer’s Night Sex Comedy” . We also had the premier,Woody did'nt show But Diane Keaton did. As a matter of fact Woody payed to put the platter system in the booth.
I have been a theater manager for twenty five years and had ten more years at the music hall. I have never seen the industry so down The morons who claim to run the buisness have it so low that it will never recover!The reason projection is so bad is that they have cut the projectionist there will come a time when there will be no more projectionist. ronfrompittsburgh hit it on the head dvd home theaters.
to call the ny twin the beekman 1 and 2 is a sin the beekman was class i managed it two times and have fond memories. once again ny has lost a beautiful piece of movie theater history.
renders thank you , you brought back alot of very found memories.i was there for alot of openings, it felt good to relive those wonderful times. thanks again
I remember hearing a story that john jackson had an idea for a piece of scenery he wanted to use in a show that he was going to produce in the near future Well being as clever as he was he convinced leon leonidorff that he should build this piece of scenery for his next show, leon did build it when the show was done it was stored in the harlem warehouse. When john did his show he used the scenery that he convinced leon to build and saved a couple of thousand dollars on his budget. maybe renders knows this story and can verify it
Warren Thanks again, Have you seen the trailer for the new “King Kong” It looks good. I wonder if any one will have the brains to have the premier at the Music Hall,Wait we are talking about mnangement so i guess the answere will be no. Thanks again for the ad.
Leon Leonidoff used to film his shows i would love to see some of them. As for the new management i don’t believe they have any intrest or even care about the great history of the music hall
yes davebazooka, that’s the one.also thanks to alalverez for the great list will you be printing the films of the 80’s?

Warren THANK YOU THANK YOU< it was great to see the inside again.
sorry i made a mistake with “the littlest horse thieves”
Sorry, but “The Littest Horse thieves” did not play the hall. The only Disney/BV film that tear was “Pete’s Dragon”
Dave Thanks great job as always Frank
i’m sad to report that early this morning as i passed our beloved Beekman, i saw that the marquee is gone.
