I am very glad that I was able to get tickets to the 5th Avenue Theatre. It has been a blast. The place is incredible. It opened in 1926 and has an ornate interior modeled after three of Imperial China’s architectural achievements: the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heavenly Peace, and the Summer Palace. The theatre was also considered a technical marvel at the time, thanks to its state-of-the-art sound, lighting and ventilation systems.
One of the most stunning features is the auditorium’s center dome, a replica of the one from the palace’s throne room (only twice the size). The “Pearl of Perfection” chandelier is held in the teeth of a great coiling dragon, which has five toes—each toe representing an evil spirit that must be vanquished.
More than that, it is a great place for the shows that have been performed there. They have been a level above any local or regional plays. They bring a little extra for every show. I would definitely recommend the 5th Avenue.
