The Heartbeat of Huntington Comes Alive
The Paramount Prepares to Open Its Doors
[Huntington, NY] – After much anticipation and curiosity The Paramount is ready to open its doors, bringing live music back to the town of Huntington for the first time since 2009. Located at 370 New York Ave, the theatre has undergone massive renovations, infusing it with new, unique energy. Walk down New York Avenue and you will hear the heartbeat of The Paramount which intensifies every day as opening night approaches.
This new, cutting-edge concert space invites guests to enjoy superior treatment. The 1500-capacity venue will feature a general admission floor accompanied by reserved seating in the mezzanine and VIP sections. For those who want the “live music but with an extra touch of class,” membership is available to become a Founder’s Room VIP. A private concierge, VIP seating, and entrance to the Founder’s Room, a “hidden member’s only club,” are just some of the perks paid members will receive.
All-star performances are already lined up, the first being Elvis Costello & The Imposters who will help celebrate the grand opening weekend on September 30. The theatre will also house performances from artists such as The B-52s, Jack’s Mannequin, NOFX, and more, with dates reaching into early November. Tickets will be available, starting August 5 at 10am, at www.paramountny.com, www.ticketmaster.com, to charge by phone 800.745.3000 and select Ticketmaster outlets.
With both the architecture and the vibe of the venue dedicated to quality sound, hospitality, and experience, The Paramount is sure to be a hotspot for all of Long Island, and especially for Huntington. “When the Town began searching for a promoter to bring live performances back to Huntington Village, we envisioned just the type of facility the Paramount is about to become: a venue capable of attracting a wide variety of ages and entertainment tastes that will cement Huntington’s reputation as Long Island’s cultural capital,” said Huntington Supervisor Frank P. Petrone. “All of our village merchants should benefit from the Paramount’s presence, as concertgoers dine in our restaurants, shop in our stores and return time and time again to enjoy all that Huntington has to offer.”
Those involved in the project, as well as many townspeople, anticipate the success of the theatre. Councilwoman Susan Berland, an avid supporter of the arts who was instrumental in bringing The Paramount to town, is looking forward to the performance boom. “The Paramount is bringing talent to Huntington that previously only New York City and large venue concertgoers could enjoy. Having seen The Paramount and its extra touches, I have no doubt that once they’ve performed there, artists will want to return, and so will the concertgoers.”
