American Airlines Theatre
New York, New York, USA
Z. Jedrus
The orchestra and balcony were re-raked and the boxes at circle and orchestra levels were restored. The seating was completely replaced, and the seating layout and sightlines were carefully readjusted. Award-winning scenic designer, Tony Walton, worked with us to create a unique and theatrical interior design for the auditorium. With new flexible equipment systems and infrastructure including a new grid, counterweight flying systems, and state-of-the-art lighting and sound and communications systems, the theatre can efficiently operate as a commercial Broadway venue.
