Paradise Theatre is the tenth album by the rock band Styx, released in January 1981 (see 1981 in music).
A concept album, the album is a fictional account of Chicago's Paradise Theatre from its opening to closing (and eventual abandonment), used as a metaphor for America's changing times from the late 1970s into the 1980s. (Dennis DeYoung confirmed this in an episode of In the Studio with Redbeard which devoted an entire episode to the making of the album.)
The song "Snowblind" (lyrics by Young, music by Young and DeYoung) was an attack on drug addiction. The track would come under fire for alleged backward messages and was branded by Tipper Gore's Parents Music Resource Center as "Satanistic". James Young and DeYoung denied this on the In the Studio episode devoted to the making of Paradise Theatre.
The Paradise Theatre was a Balaban and Katzmovie palace located in Chicago's West Garfield Park neighborhood. Its address was 231 N. Pulaski Road, Chicago, Illinois 60624. Located near the intersection of West Madison Street and Crawford Avenue (now Pulaski Road) in the West Garfield Park area of Chicago's West Side, it opened on September 14, 1928, and was billed as the world's most beautiful theater for its stunning interior and exterior beauty. It is regarded as one of the finest designs by architect John Eberson, as the sheer opulence and intricate craftsmanship that went into the theater made it a showpiece in and of itself. Unfortunately, flaws in the design (blamed on the vast domed ceiling in the over 3,600-seat auditorium) were exposed with the advent of talking pictures. Poor acoustics eventually cost the theater its attendance as neighborhood movie-goers would eventually turn to the nearby Marks Brothers showplace, the Marbro Theater. As a result, business at the Paradise never recovered.
The Paradise Theater, formerly Loew's Paradise Theatre, is a movie palace-type theater located at 2403 Grand Concourse in Bronx, New York. Constructed in 1929 at the height of grand movie theaters, in the later 20th century the building was used also for live entertainment. It was leased in 2012 for use by the World Changers Church International New York, based in Fulton County, Georgia, for founding a local congregation.
History
Opening and context
Loew's Paradise Theatre opened on September 7, 1929 with Warner Oland in the film The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu on the screen, plus a stage presentation "Cameos" produced by Chester Hale, and British organist Harold Ramsey playing the 4-manual, 23-rank Robert Morton "Wonder Organ". The Paradise was originally commissioned by the Paramount-Publix theater chain and was slated to be named the Venetian Theatre. Paramount-Publix withdrew from the project shortly before construction began and it was taken over by New York's largest movie theatre chain, Loew's Theatres. The theater was promoted as one of the five "Loew's Wonder Theatres".

STYX Paradise Theater - The thing no one noticed!
STYX Paradise Theater sold millions of copies, and yet few people noticed the secret image etched in the vinyl itself!
Dennis DeYoung had been thinking in concept album terms for a while, and this was the first album where it was really obvious. The album roughly tells the story of the rise and fall of a theater called "Paradise." The front and back covers show the theater when it opened and after it was shut down. The two albums sides were called "acts" and one of them had a hidden image that many people never noticed.

I visited the Sphere on Memorial Day 2024 and had a bad experience. I was standing on the line for more than 30 minutes with no shade and then the show was postponed to 12:15pm instead of scheduled 11:30am and everyone was asked to go to Sphere bridge entry. It was chaotic as I was standing on the line with just 10-15 persons ahead of me. Everyone behind me started running to Sphere bridge and by the time I went there, there were 100's of people ahead of me.
The interior of the Sphere was spectacular. We were allowed to spend only 15 minutes in the Atrium and there were only 3 Robot for the interaction but 1000's of people.
The Postcard from earth show is as good as any IMAX documentary. I wouldn't waster $100 for this show anymore.
