Legendary Kings Theatre Has Officially Re-Opened!
by 
Flatbush will never be that same, thanks to the newly restored Kings Theatre. Today, civic and community leaders celebrated the reopening of this Brooklyn landmark. Shuttered for nearly four decades, the architectural gem and former movie palace will serve as an economic engine for the Flatbush neighborhood and will present over 200 performances annually. And it all begins with the legendary Diana Ross in the sold out inaugural show on February 3rd.
“The renovation and reopening of the Kings Theatre defines the renaissance that Brooklyn is celebrating. The Kings Theatre will present the greatest entertainment for children, families, and adults and act as a catalyst of the rebirth of Flatbush Avenue as a premiere shopping and dining attraction for residents and visitors alike,” said Marty Markowitz, Vice President, Borough Promotion and Engagement for NYC & Company.
The extensive $95 million dollar restoration took a little over a year to complete and includes new carpeting and an additional 10,000 square feet the stage. For years the theater hosted movies and and a mixture of different live performances before it was shut down after years of neglect and poor management.

“Today marks a milestone for the Flatbush community,” said New York City Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development Alicia Glen. “The City’s investment in the revival of the Kings Theatre is about much more than the restoration of the beloved, historic building—it is about supporting the creation of local jobs, new traffic for area small businesses, and developing new state-of-the art space for the community to gather. Kings Theatre will become a destination for New Yorkers and visitors alike, and provide real community benefits in the process.”
A free concert will be held for community members on Tuesday, January 27, and a free open house with tours of the restored structure will be held Saturday, February 7. More information about these events and the Theatre’s inaugural year of programming is available at KingsTheatre.com.
