An icon.  A legend.  A grand dame.  No, not Judy or Liza, though I bet either one of them's played this wonderful music hall at least once.

Surviving at least one category 5 hurricane and a number of lesser canes and tropical storms has only weathered the outside and bolstered the heart of The Grand.  The interiors are pleasant and not gaudy like you'd expect an old theater to be.  The house has decent sightlines, though a good many seats in the balconies are marginal due to the cast iron support columns.  They're going through a renovation/restoration (aren't these old places always?), but no doubt the ghosts still enjoy seeing some great talent.
