If you want to see what you can expect, check out the Sioux City Orpheum Theater. It was renovated by GSI & Ray Sheperdson (same team that is doing the Genesee Theater) so you’ll get an idea of the quality of their work. Strange coincidence is that Sioux City also opened with Bill Cosby in Sept. 2001.

The picture for the Sioux City Orpheum is actually the 1st Orpheum Sioux City had, a much smaller one than is currently being renovated. Here is what the future outside of the theater building will look like: View link
