The Variety Theatre is ready to make a triumphant return.
After first touring the property a little under a year ago, Flamos formally acquired the expansive theatre complex off Lorain Avenue near West117th Street earlier this week. Built in the 1920s, Variety Theatre has long been a target of a community preservation effort, spearheaded by the Friends of Historic Variety Theatre, Westown Community Development Corporation and former Ward 11 Councilwoman Dona Brady, among others.
“It’s beautiful. It’s opulent and elegant. The stage just makes your jaw drop. I see making it a place for creative expression again,” Flamos said. “At the end of the day, it’s about reimagining this historic landmark for 2022. The goal is to keep it here for another 100 years.” Built in 1924, the Variety theatre was one of five movie theatres in the area around that area of town. It was, however, the largest by a wide margin. In its infancy, the theatre existed solely as a movie theatre until it began to also be used as a concert venue in the 1970s. The Variety theatre was a must-stop location for notable rock and heavy metal acts, including Slayer, Metallica, Megadeath and others.
