Yes they shouldn’t throw out the seats. They can even be used in another theater that needed better seats to make it more comfortable. The Lafayette theater in Suffern could maybe acquire the seats and put them there. It might be too costly to remove the seats that are there now and put in the Zigfeld seats. Yes you are right nine chandeliers
Movieguy says 7 crystal chandeliers. Looking at my photos, 1 in Box Office, 3 in Lobby Museum, 3 in Foyer upstairs, 2 in Concessions Foyer, for total of 9. There’s also pretty sconces (at least a dozen) in the halls wrapping around the entry of the auditorium, and large sconces (8, I think) in the auditorium. It is a shame that Ziegfeld museum items won’t be in the Ziegfeld Ballroom. It would also be a shame if the ancient wood is trashed. Some people would happily purchase chairs especially those with the Z on them!
If the amount of people coming out last night had come out more regularly to the theater for movies over the past few years the theater would’ve still most likely been operating well past yesterday said closing. How anybody could want to go to a multiplex versus a beautiful theater like that Ziegfeld is beyond me. It’s like saying would you rather have a meal expertly prepared by a wonderfully talented chef. Or would you like to just have some processed chain food for dinner
I went to three screenings yesterday 12:45 PM 2D Looks like it was about 550 people. Sat in the second row of the balcony area. Bought a ticket for the 7 PM screening. Very long line to get in. Looks like 650 people for that screening. The audience was most enthusiastic As I was sitting in the middle of the orchestra section. They clapped and cheer during the “along time ago in a galaxy far far away” they also cheered when on Han Solo first appeared on screen. The curtain was definitely being used at the end of each screening and just before the Advertisements started . I was going to leave but then when I saw the line was even a longer stretching all the way down the block and around the corner I bought a ticket for the 10 PM show. Sitting in the last row of the balcony just looking down at the nearly filled orchestra section except for maybe a dozen seats. They close the curtains before the previews coming attractions. At the end of the credits and when the curtains closed. People broke into a song “Will miss the grand the lady Ziegfeld” people didn’t want to leave And were taking pictures at 1:15 PM. One girl was even hugging the wall of the theater. I was speaking to John the manager and it’s truly heartbreaking That’s such a beautiful theater with seven crystal chandeliers a grand staircase to the area just outside the confession space. John the manager said that Cablevision is going to take everything in the theater including things left over from the original Ziegfeld. No one knows what they will do with it. But John said the entire space will be gutted. A terrible loss to New York and movie lovers. There never will be another theater like iT. Theaters were built years ago so people could experience something they could never experienced at home. We need more places like the Ziegfeld to bring people out to the movies instead of sitting home in their living rooms
Online at Twitter, report of free popcorn & soda at last night’s last show, with a long line to get in & waiting shortly before the prior show as nobody wanted to depart. There’s a photo of many bags of popcorn & also a photo of the gorgeously costumed Ziegfeld girls from the night before. I tried to capture the photos for my “others” photo gallery but couldn’t.
Also I forgot to note that when I saw the Funny Girls reissue at the Ziegfeld, the movie depicted Ziegfeld and when I went downstairs, he looked just like his picture. That was really neat seeing that movie at the Ziegfeld.
And, I will miss the “stills” photos that often were with the film posters outside. It added a premiere movie palace character to the Ziegfeld. I think I recall the Astor Plaza & others in NYC also doing that.
Was at the 12:45 screening. Pretty good turnout. And it was the last non 3D screening at the last movie Palace in Manhattan.
Grease sticks out for me because I’d already seen it some weeks earlier on its opening weekend, but it was a whole new experience in 70mm at the Ziegfeld.
Bil, there was a three week festival of Kirk Douglas films in rotation in the fall of 1986 before “TOUGH GUYS” opened. I went with whatever was playing Fridays.
Because of the 1978 strike, a subrun of “GREASE” is possible. Maybe someone with a historic Variety subscription online can check up on that.
Additions to the list: Grease played here in 1978, between Revenge of the Pink Panther and The Boys From Brazil. It played during a newspaper strike so I can’t prove it, but I’m positive I saw it here.
Also Lust for Life/The Professionals double feature in September or October 1986, but I don’t have the actual dates.
There were several hundred people at the 12:45 this afternoon, and a big line waiting to buy tickets, just like the good old days. The closing curtains got a round of applause. People were photographing everything after the movie ended. No one wanted to leave, least of all me. I met someone who saw Ryan’s Daughter here in 1970. Now that’s a show I’d really like to have seen at the Ziegfeld.
Last screenings tonight! 7 PM, 10 PM. Wait for closing credits to end for the curtains to close! Last mainstream (not art) single screen movie theater in Manhattan. Go for the Ziegfeld experience!
Thanks for posting the attractions showed through the years in this one of the last movie palaces in New York.
Fantastic article. I’m gonna try and make it there today. http://screencrush.com/the-ziegfeld-theater-closing/
I enjoyed my final visit here yesterday afternoon to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens tremendously. This great theater will be missed but I’m grateful for the photos and memories and for this site, where at least a record of its existence will continue to serve as a loving tribute. Also thanks to users Mike(saps) and Al Alvarez for posting the bookings from its 1969 to now. Great job.
“The cutting edge is long gone, however. Lately, the Ziegfeld has mostly been frequented by nostalgists who come for the theater itself and stay for whatever title happens to be on the marquee. Sheer size is its last enduring novelty.” http://www.villagevoice.com/film/curtains-for-the-ziegfeld-say-goodbye-to-manhattan-s-last-single-screen-movie-palace-8182141 From me (Howard) those nostalgists enjoy the grandeur too! And will be in full force tonight for Star Wars: The Force Awakens! Fill the house & give the Ziegfeld the send off she deserves!
For people attending today (last day) minor request. I added today 2 photos to photo gallery, from when you exit the auditorium from the right side (of the movie screen). There’s exit doors directly to the Foyer with the stairs & escalators. From the left side of the auditorium, you enter 1st the Concession Foyer, then the Foyer with the stairs/escalators. One photo- caption says “fuzzy” shows the walls to the auditorium on left side of photo (the corridor in front) & doors to the right. Maybe someone can take a better photo? whether doors closed (before movie) or open (after movie). To clarify- a photo of the corridor to the right showing the corridor & showing the doors to the right.
I doubt Cablevision, the lease holder. Maybe BowTie? this is a great set of photos from Saturday. Ziegfeld closed Saturday & Sunday? https://www.flickr.com/photos/christinyca/sets/72157661590681523
I attended tonight’s 7:00 screening of “Force Awakens.” Decent crowd for the penultimate night; I would estimate about 60% capacity. As soon as the end credits began to roll, the cameras came out as many audience members took photos. Most of the audience remained until the curtains closed. One more thing: there were two women identically dressed in Ziegfeld Girl-style costumes greeting people after they passed the ticket-taker and were posing for photos. Moonlighting Rockettes hired by Cablevision for the occasion?

Nice blog about seeing Braveheart, which I also saw here http://robertmaschio.com/blogs/news/89083142-braveheart-at-the-ziegfeld-theatre
Tomorrow is the swan song for this theater.
I have placed the lists here in an easier to read format. Let me know if you find any omissions or errors and I will correct them.
