Glad to see she is taking it back home.
That is where Mary Wilson had her concert last year.
Okay, it's funny to me that a 2,400 seat theatre is considered intimate, but I guess it is compared to Radio City Music Hall.
True, it's not Feinstein's at the Regency, but it's not so much the number of seats, but rather the layout that makes it intimate. Looks like a great place to see a show!

Looks like a great venue! The capacity is 2,400 when there is general admission on the floor. For reserved seated events, the capacity is 1,500. I'm assuming Diana's show will be the latter.
Looks like a great place to see a concert. I saw Diana Ross perform once in Detroit back in the early 90's, and Florence Ballards's daughters were in attendance and she introducted them to the audience. What a moment in history.
Another great moment in history came in June 1994 when Mary Wilson performed at Chene Park and introduced Barbara Martin to the audience and even had her sing a little!Quote:

Isn't this surreal though ? Two Supremes playing the same venue in their own home town ? Doesn't that give you goosebumps ?
You make me laugh harder with your obsessive hate for Diana Ross and your tireless agenda of trying to tear her down any chance you get.Quote:

Then two weeks ago, they told me they had just received a promo email for the highest rated players - not free tickets, but the presale password for Diana Ross. I already had tix as I have an in there. Mary sold some tickets, Im sure - but the gross was under $2,417 or it would have listed on pollstar or billboard. That is not a slap on Mary - she's not expected to be a concert draw - but her name still brings folks into the casino - thats the name of the game. They don't expect to make money on Mary or Ross' tickets. At The Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL Dionne Warwick filled the place and didn't sell 300 tickets. Those 6000 attendees certainly spent a lot at the venue and slots, however.Quote:
