If you are ever in Miami, you have to visit this great theater. Although people will tell you that the theater never closed it did. It is true that the theater never closed its doors; but because the stage was never used over the period of ten years, the theater was closed in the eyes of the theatrical world. If you are ever in Miami and have time, take the Coleman’s tour. Ask for Larry (he gives the best tours). The auditorium is wonderful and the history is so rich that you can feel it!
The theater is not associated with any chain or firm and the exterior is the Spanish Mission with an interior of Louis XIV and XV (pre-1940 remodel but the Friends of the Coleman have certainly brought back that wonderfully beautiful interior over time).
