Historic Brooklyn Paramount Theater Reawakens to the Modern Age

Marking a significant moment in New York City's entertainment landscape, the iconic Brooklyn Paramount theater is preparing to fling open its doors once more. The venue, steeped in history, has been silent for several decades but will soon reverberate with live music come March 27. Its grand reopening reveals a meticulously restored Roccoco interior, bringing back the splendor of the 1920s. Onlookers will also be greeted by the theater's refreshed vintage-style exterior marquee, blending modern amenities with historic charm.

Live Nation Takes the Helm

The renowned Live Nation now operates the Brooklyn Paramount and is ushering in a new era with an exciting lineup of 45 scheduled shows. It's not just entertainment that's on the rise; the theater's revival will also contribute positively to the local economy by creating over 250 jobs. Along with the economic boost, community engagement initiatives such as a job fair and a music internship program in collaboration with Long Island University promise to foster opportunities for the next generation of talent.

A Rich Tapestry of History

The Brooklyn Paramount is no stranger to the limelight. Across its colorful past, the venue has been graced by legendary musical figures like Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. There's an athletic twist to its legacy too; the Paramount briefly transformed into a basketball arena during the early 1960s. Today, as it stands poised for a dramatic comeback, the beloved theater is ready to add a contemporary thread to its rich historical tapestry, reinvigorating Brooklyn’s vibrant entertainment scene.
