The reissue of the 1940 classic arrived on May 18th, 1978, amidst fears that the Music Hall would be closing forever for demolition. The skimpy stage show ran for about half an hour, with three numbers by the Rockettes and musical interludes including a Symphony Orchestra tribute to Cole Porter compositions.
I attended one of the early screenings of Fantasia during 1978 at the Music Hall. Ushers had to open up the closed off Mezzanine areas because the crowd became so large.
The film looked wonderful at the Music Hall.
