Unfortunately the one problem with the restoration project was the original terra cotta brickwork above the main entrance & marquee was left badly damaged and in extreme need of restoration & repair. It’s been in such a state since the Madee/Annie Sez era. If you take a look at theatrefan’s photo in the gallery you will see exactly what I am refering to.

Great to see Orlando back at the former Walker Theatre, has it really been 47 years since Edward B. Shallow JHS 227? Remember the Randforce S.O. card? Keep up the good fight Orlando.

I was also at the Barry Lydon event and can tell you that the staff of the Kings displayed nothing but the utmost respect and professionalism to me, there was a problem with the ticketing system that was in no way their fault.

That being said I did now notice this time that there is netting which is installed over the main dome in the auditorium, when I asked one of the ushers what that was all about, the reply was: “That’s to keep the loose plaster from falling on people’s heads” I guess the 95 million dollars they spent renovating this place could not insure that the ceiling would necessarily stay up and in place like it does in other venues.

Just got a copy of the book, apparently Orlando was not credited for use of the pamphlet. For those who have the book, the item in question is on page 45.
