Lonely Planet review for 5th Avenue Theater
Built in 1926 with an opulent Asian motif, the 5th Avenue opened as a vaudeville house; it was later turned into a movie theater and closed in 1979. An influx of funding and a heritage award saved it in 1980, and now it’s Seattle’s premier theater for Broadway musical revivals. It’s worth going just for a look at the architecture. Tickets are available by phone or at the box office at the theater.
