The knowledge and passion displayed by the tour guides on the history of the theatre and their engaging personalities and professionalism in answering all of the tour attendees' questions made the tour an awesome experience. We loved how we were able to experience the playing of the organ, especially the sound effects which we never realized the potential of an organ and its great significance to the events/performances of many shows performed at the theatre. The information and historical facts presented on the construction and renovation in bringing the theatre back to its original glory was such a refreshing story to hear especially in today's world where some of our historical structures/halls, etc. don't get a second chance. Great job and best wishes to your tour guides in reminding us of a very special place that should continue on for years to come in making memories and smiles.
