This was our first stop of the year to a place where we've previously played. I loved the Stanley Theatre when we were here a few years ago, and it is still very cool.
Here are some pics of it--
Some facts about the Stanley -- all from their website:
Originally built to be a movie palace, the Stanley opened on September 10, 1928. Dubbed "Mexican Baroque", the Stanley's design features include a gold leaf interior and terra cotta and tiled mosaic on the exterior facade, which calls to mind the Mexican influence, while ornate gilded Habsburg lions, Indian faces, angels and cherubs featured in the interior are common Baroque motifs.
It has a grand entry staircase that resembles the main staircase on the Titanic, and Moorish influence is also evident in the sprinkling of stars covering the domed ceiling and the twisted columns flanking the stage.
The chandelier is the world's largest LED free-hanging chandelier. Completely custom made, it is crafted of steel, blown glass and acrylic. It weighs 7,000 pounds, is 35 feet in diameter and 17 feet tall, and is hand finished in antique gold and bronze.
