THE COMMODORE THEATRE IN PORTSMOUTH, VA
We went to this theatre the evening of November 17th to see the animated movie with Jim Carey as Scrooge. They used the new type of animation for this movie where the characters almost look real. (Freaks me out…soon we won’t need real people as actors because the animation is so realistic.) This theatre opened in 1945. It has been restored and is beautiful inside, with crystal chandeliers and murals on the walls. The seating is not theatre style; instead there are rounded-back cushioned chairs at round tables seating two to four people at each table. To order from the lite-fare menu, telehones at each table are used. We enjoyed the evening as it was something different for us to experience.
