The 105-year-old Majestic Theatre complex on Woodward Avenue in Midtown Detroi that typically hosts mid-level rock and pop touring act, is undergoing a $1 million renovation, which includes permanently shutting the Majestic Cafe.
The renovation will include a new art-deco facade and marquee, a curb-facing box office and an expanded main theater with a restored ceiling and acoustical treatment, Brian McCollum writes in the Detroit Free Press.
The cafe, already closed, will be replaced by a significantly expanded lobby area and 50-foot bar.
Other facilities stay open during the six-month project, including the Majestic Theatre, Garden Bowl and Sgt. Pepperoni's Pizzeria on the first level, and the Magic Stick music club and Alley Deck upstairs, the Freep reports.
