The Auditorium
Photographer:
There are exactly 1,821 red velvet seats in the Ford Center, and theater designers brag that there isn't a bad one in the house. To ensure that all theatergoers see the whole show, the 94-foot-long and 70-foot-high auditorium has two shallow balconies -- each only eight rows deep -- rather than a single deep balcony. Three plaster domes that were extracted from the Apollo are under the dress circle, the lower of the two balconies.Adam Stoltman Adorning the ceiling of the auditorium is another relic from the Apollo -- a 39-by-28 elliptical dome. The dome was removed from the Apollo in two dozen sections, stored in a warehouse in New Jersey and then reassembled as the Ford Center neared completion.
