The official ribbon cutting stuff is this coming Friday, December 2, but I believe the soft re-opening has already happened, with a Christmas Lego display, movies and such.  As for music, Richard Thompson will be there April 7.  I'm not a big Roseanne Cash fan but it might make a good Valentine's Day date on February 11 for Mrs. Drjohnrock and me.  There are a couple more concerts booked that didn't stir my interest.

I've never been inside Memorial Hall and am looking forward to seeing a show there, though I suspect the tickets will likely be as pricy as they are for the Taft Theatre (the upstairs theatre, that is, not the ballroom).

Drjohn, you're talking about the Memorial Hall that's next to Music Hall?

I didn't realize that this space was being renovated!

I used to go there once a year for years, when the MusicNOW Festival was actually still worth it. Then one year it was absorbed by the CSO, and it stopped being at Music Hall. Mind you, I say this as a big fan/supporter of the CSO, but this move was just plain wrong.

Yes, that's the one.  New website:  www.memorialhallotr.com

There was a recent story in the Enquirer about the reopening--should still be available on www.cincinnati.com

I was at the annual Over the Rhine Christmas show 2 weekends ago at Memorial Hall. To be honest, I didn't experience all that much different from before, so I'm not entirely sure what that renovation was about....

There are fewer seats than before the renovations, and I think the stage was upgraded.  Also, the back stage area (which is admittedly out of the public eye) was much improved, especially with respect to load in and load out.  I believe the restrooms were also upgraded.
