Once one of Brooklyn’s most elegant movie theaters, the Loew’s Kings Theatre opened in Flatbush as a movie and live performance space in 1929. When multiplex cinemas became popular in the 1950s, the theater lost traction with audiences. It eventually closed in 1977 and the stunning interior fell into disrepair. After an elaborate $95 million restoration, the 3,074-seat theater reopened in 2015 in all its original glory. Catch classic acts and rising stars alike at the ornate theater.
Pulp’s modern life-skewering, poignant and brilliantly crafted pop songs still hit their mark decades on and sexagenarian frontman Jarvis Cocker still twists the night away like an enthusiastic newbie half his age.
