McLaren engineers Nadia Itani and Ryan Rivet-Frame, PE, recently attended a special luncheon marking the first time the theater opened its doors to a large group since its renovation. The Majestic, a Broadway icon, has undergone significant updates, and those involved in the project were invited to celebrate this milestone.
Majestic Theater Renovations
McLaren’s entertainment engineering team provided services for the restoration and revitalization of the theater following the 35-year run of Phantom of the Opera, and will continue to support the Majestic Theater by providing engineering services for the upcoming production of Gypsy. Key structural work involved assessing the grid’s load capacity, installing custom platforms as permanent venue features, updating rigging systems, and implementing OSHA-compliant access and general accessibility improvements. Additional upgrades included alterations to the marquee, new signage along 44th Street with LED displays, and the refurbishment of the iconic blade sign.
Opening Information
Following its grand reopening on September 9th, the Majestic Theater’s new look is now open to the public! Maybe you can catch the upcoming production of Gypsy, officially opening on Broadway on December 19, 2024, at 245 W 44th St in Manhattan’s iconic Theater District.
