It is great to see the Paradise is being restored and reopened!! My Mom went there as a child.I wanted to to go by the theatre this Fri or Saturday.
Does anyone know if the theatre is “open” during the restoration phase. If people wanted to look around inside the theatre? It would be GREAT one could look around inside the Grand Palace as she is being fixed up!
Any updates on when and if the Paradise will open? Will they have concerts comedy movies plays? Unlike the Loew’s Jersey which has two parking garages and the path trail right accross the street.The Paradise has no parking garage close by.
Last night I went to see The Day After Tomorrow at the Ziegfeld.There were about 700 there for the 7:oopm show.I was struk be the beauty if this theatre with its red velvet on the walls and the thick yellow curtian that covers the screen.
I sat in the “balcony area dead center.The sound and projection was 10++ the curtian closing and opening adds to the movie experience.
Watching a movie about the New York City getting hit by natures furry in the the LAST movie palace in NEW YORK was BREATHTAKING!!
I just spoke to someone at the Theatre and she said there are no “renovations” going on.She said people come but not enough to cover their operating expences.
It made me feel very sad.It may not be a “movie palace” like the Roxy,Paramount or Loews Paradise,but it is one the best places to see a movie in the city.Sitting in the balcony area with a full hosue as the rich heavy gold curtian parts and the movie magic begins. I have enjoyed many movies there.There is an atmosphere in a large one screen house that can’t be mached even in the largest screening room in a multi-plex.
We will soon loose the Astor Plaza,which has the best sound system I have ever herd.If the Zig goes we will all be loosing the last great theatre in the greatest City in the world.

The Lafayette Theatre is having its GRAND-RE OPENING tonight 11-15
The theatre was abruptly closed on Fri Sept 13.
New management has taken over, Galaxy Theatre Corp. They run several cinema’s in NJ and PA.
For the past two weeks the theatre has been undergoing a “clean up” from head to toe.
In addition to first run movies there will be a classic film night once a month.
The theatre is WORTH the trip from anywhere in the tri-state area!
