There's a billboard up next to the Palace Theater, as well.
"For example, if I should paint my fingernails green -
and it just so happens I do paint them green. Well, if anyone should ask me why, I say: 'I think it's pretty!'"
I was thinking that too Born. The front marquee is small in proportion to the actual frame. But yeah, clearly Mel wanted to get these up early so that the summer tourists would see it and want to buy tickets.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
I walked by the Hilton about a week after Pirate Queen closed and was surprised to see every trace of it gone. All the posters, marquees and everything else were nowhere to be seen. Usually when a show closes some of the materials remain for a month or two. The fact that Young Frankenstein's marquees are already up explains this.
The Hilton theater June 27:
"I have got to have some professional music!" - Big Edie
I knew something was up when I was walking to work today!
I was late and didn't have the time to stop and explore what was on the truck holding that sign ...
I love America. Just because I think gay dudes should be allowed to adopt kids and we should all have hybrid cars doesn't mean I don't love America.

I actually thought that the front marquee would basically look like the one in back and just be The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein.
I was actually thinking about when the marquee was going to go up the other day when I went in to see Curtains. I remember walking by the Hilton and seeing that all The Pirate Queen stuff down.
