The historic Harlem venue on 125th Street has been undergoing major renovations since last spring, and finally debuted its refurbished marquee and neon sign at a formal ceremony on Wednesday evening.



The event, which included a drumline performance by the Marching Cobras and a live countdown by TV personality Bevy Smith, was just the first part of the reveal.




The theater itself remains closed, planning to reopen with a new lobby and cafe in the spring of 2027.
