Nokia Theatre Times Square (1515 Broadway)

"Filling the former space of a Loews movie theater in the Viacom building—after undergoing a $15 million renovation—the Nokia Theatre Times Square is a joint venture between the mobile communications giant and AEG, the Los Angeles-based sports and entertainment presenter. Designed by the Rockwell Group, the site will be suitable not only for live performances and awards shows, but also conferences, trade shows, and dinners. The auditorium will feature undulating walls, a quilt-patterned ceiling covered in a veil of metal mesh, and six Swarovski crystal chandeliers." [BizBash]

I guess everything great has to end at some point, but to tear out the fantastic Astor Plaza, they better have something really fucking great to put in its place. We'll see.

The Nokia Theatre in Times Square was an amazing choice for the launch of Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007.
The building seems small, but there's loads of room in there!

I caught Deadsy and Deftones at the Nokia, and am pretty sure I won't go back unless there's a band I absolutely can't miss. Waaaaaaaay too corporate for my tastes. The actual performance area isn't too shabby, but the rest of the venue is pretty foul. Plus, ya know, the area isn't so great either...
