	The Hippodrome Theatre
		Designed by renowned theatre architect Thomas Lamb for the local exhibitors Pearce and Scheck, it was the largest theatre south of New York City at the time and would remain the largest in Baltimore until the opening of the Stanley Theatre in 1927.
		In 1963 the theatre was selected to house the regional premiere of "Cleopatra." Though a prestigious move for the now-aging theatre it proved damaging.
		In 1969 the Hippodrome would have its last gasp of glory, at least for a while, with the world premiere of "Slaves." By this time, the downtown area had begun to disintegrate badly, and audiences were hard to come by.

		Ticket sales for the 14-week run of The Lion King that ended Sunday at the Hippodrome Theatre totaled more than $15 million, and the show was seen by nearly 230,000 people, according to figures released yesterday by the Hippodrome Foundation and Clear Channel Entertainment, which operates the theater.
		As it marks the one-year anniversary of its opening, the renovated Hippodrome Theatre has been a hit in most respects, but an under-performer in some others.
		Admission was free yesterday as Baltimore's reawakening Hippodrome opened to the public for the first time since the 1914-era stage went dark in 1990.

		The Hippodrome is north Florida's only professional regional theatre, and it is currently celebrating its 28th year.
		Leading up to the Hippodrome's entrance is a wide set of steps, which provides the base for the massive pillars which extend all the way up to the third story of the Hippodrome.
		Simply entering the theatre can almost be intimidating, as the early construction of the building gives it a darker, eerie style, and although the building is large, the space is broken up into many smaller rooms, and there appear to be few windows or open spaces.

		On the Helen Hayes Theatre stage on Broadway, for 364 performances (plus 27 previews) in 2002 and 2003, the magic was that the late, great, George Burns came before you to share his life and his absolute love for his partner, Gracie Allen.
		Despite a fine sound system delivering well mixed vocals through the Hippodrome's excellent new sound system, the orchestra comes across at times- especially during the entre'acte - as if it is a flat, old and perhaps mono recording played through speakers hidden behind and muffled by the ornate proscenium that travels with the show.
		This production's Phantom is Gary Mauer, who not only brings a fine full voice and a fine physical presence to the part, he has the acting skills to make the monster a sympathetic character, getting the audience to feel his emotional pain, the depth of his need for affection and his devotion to beauty.
