Eno... did you verify that the sign in the lobby didn't include the balcony seating? The Theatre Historical Society booklet on Detroit Theatres mentions the Redford's original seating as 2,000.

But in recent years they may have redone the main floor seats to spread out the aisles somewhat, with fewer seats... so that 1571 may be correct now.

I went to the Redford Theatre for a screening of "Arsenic & Old Lace". There were about 400-500 people in attendance. In the outer lobby, there is a seating chart offering seats to be dedicated for $250 with a commemorative plate mounted onto the seat selected. The chart details seating available for dedication at 1571. This conforms with the Fire Marshall's sign designating capacity at 1571. On the Redford Theatre website, the advertisement for facility rental lists seating capacity at 1571. http://redfordtheatre.com/rental/
