Saw Fantasia there as well as the 1961 version of Disney’s 101 Dalmations. In 1975 I saw Eve Arden, her husband Brooks West and Judi Connelli in the stage musical Applause.
I started working here as a 19 year old in early 1968 when MGM were showing their Art House Movies at The Metro and was lucky enough to be seconded to The Harry M. Miller Group for the stage production HAIR. Still to this day the most exciting and enjoyable years of my life!!
More memories for me: not only did I see the live production of “Hair” at the Metro, but also the Disney movie “Fantasia”.
Home of Dr D Studios, Kennedy/Miller/Mitchell production company. Dr George Miller bought it shortly after Mad Max 2 came out I think.
Once again very nice,thanks for the posting.
