Best Theatre Space

Paramount Theatre

Walking into this exquisite bastion of glamor transforms the occasion (touring show, locally produced musical, summer movie) into just that: an occasion. And as Harry Knowles knows, you just have to have your Hollywood premiere at the only theatre in town worthy of such an event. Elizabeth Hurley, Matthew McConaughey, and their cohorts were fêted in style at the EdTV premiere last March. It's easy to imagine the red carpet as you saunter in yourself.
