Bright lights of Kings Theatre return to Flatbush
Brooklyn saved the Kings!
Flatbush Avenue’s Kings Theatre has been out of commission for nearly 40 years, but it officially reopened its doors on Friday as local politicians and civic leaders gave a group of reporters and photographers a tour of the $95 million restoration.
“The wonder has been restored to Flatbush’s historic ‘Wonder Theatre,’” Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said at the ribbon cutting ceremony. “The newly restored Kings Theatre is a remarkable open door to our glorious architectural and artistic past as well as a gateway to the economic and cultural revival of central Brooklyn.”
