Restored Loew's Will be Brooklyn's Biggest Theater

The Journal looks into the renovation of Flatbush’s Loew’s Kings Theater, noting that the 3,200-seat venue will be the biggest indoor theater in the borough when it reopens in 2014. The theater will have about 250 shows a year, according to its developer, and “civic leaders hope the transformation will benefit the Flatbush corridor, once a middle-class shopping district and now a patchwork of wig shops, 99-cent stores, roti diners and storefront churches.” In addition to the extensive renovation of the existing interior, the developer is building an extension on the back of the former movie palace in order to provide more space for performers and mechanical equipment.
