By the time we arrived that wording on the marque had been temporarily changed so that the top line now read "Gordon Lightfoot Fri" and Kane's name had had May appended. We had a reservation at the excellent French Bistro directly opposite but had to wait outside the theatre a while for the Bistro to open and saw one of the stage crew erect that ladder again.Later from our table we noted that the entire marquee now said just "Gordon Lightfoot tonight".
This is an unusual old theatre that features a pair of stacked boxes on either side of the stage and a long way back a rather small balcony that appeared to be sold out as part of the lively audience
