The take

A movie palace that went dark for four and a half decades before restoration brought it back, which makes the room itself the headliner — go for the building even when the bill is unfamiliar. Elvis is on the list of names that played it the first time around.

Questions people ask

What is the bag policy?

Clutch-size bags and small purses only. Diaper bags with a child, and medical bags up to 12x12x6 inches, are allowed after inspection; backpacks are not.

Where do I park?

The Fifth Third Center garage at 129 W. Sixth St is a block away, with discounted validated parking after 5pm. Daytime visits pay the garage's normal rate.

Where should I buy tickets?

Through Ticketmaster — the theatre warns that tickets from unauthorised resellers may be counterfeit and refused at the door.
