	PSTOS - Coliseum Theatre, Seattle Washington
		The Coliseum Theatre opened in 1915 and was designed by prolific Northwest theatre architect B.
		The Coliseum Theatre had several architectural "firsts" which were copied elsewhere is the United States -- the theatre had an intimate mezzanine, which become associated with all the big film palaces of the twenties, instead of having two balconies of the same size as custom dictated.
		The original narrow "Coliseum" signs on the southeast and northwest corners of the building were replaced in the 1920's with larger "I"-shaped signs on either side of the entrance dome.

	The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London, WC2
		And here it was that the great Theatre architect, Frank Matcham, built The London Coliseum, a Theatre which was designed to be larger in every way than even that of the largest Theatre in London; The Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
		The stage of the London Coliseum was also on a vast scale; 55' wide by 92' deep, whereas Drury lane, which was big enough you might think, was a mear 42' wide by 80' deep.
		This was the first revolve of its kind to be fitted into a British Theatre, although the London Palladium would later have one too, although sadly this was removed some years ago just as the Coliseum's was when the rest of the Theatre was restored to its former glory recently.

	The Complete Auditorium Ranking
		In this ranked middle section the theatres are all relatively similiar because, while the ranking still exists, for the most part finding differences between the theatres ranked close to one another is pretty futile.
		Theatre two is built in the balcony of what used to be one big, (very nice), theatre.
		A good-sized theatre with a big screen and really good sound (it's the kind where the whole auditorium shakes, but it doesn't hurt your ears.) Suffers most because it doesn't have stadium seating and because the seats are a little odd: they're comfortable at first, yet increasingly less comfortable as time passes.

		After an eight-month closure and a GBP 41 million (75 million US dollar) restoration, the Coliseum opened for its centenary year on 21 February 2004 after a two-week delay, for a private reception, and to the public for the first opera performance six days later.
		The manner in which the house reopened also caused some rancour – the opening night was due to be a public performance of Nixon, but instead this ‘people’s opera company’ entered its new era with a sneak preview for those who had been actively or financially involved in the refurbishment project.
		In fact, that dome, previously in the theatre’s old colour scheme of shabby turquoise, is now the auditorium’s crowning glory in cream and gold.
