As mentioned... 90% of the plasterwork of the Detroit Opera House [[C. Howard Crane's 1921 designed/1922 opened Capitol Theatre) was replaced. Here's a pic of the Detroit Opera House auditorium [[from a 1998 MOT brochure cover) showing the newly restored procenium arch and above it the opulent and intricate geometric sounding board that gives the space its' marvelous acoustics.
Back in the 1990s [[according to Theatre Historical Society) no movie palace had been as badly damaged and then fully restored as the Capitol Theatre [[DOH). However, I do believe the UA is in worse condition than the Capitol was.
