Movie complexes get in tune, will offer live music shows - BostonHerald.com, 5/15/07: " National Amusements Inc. plans to launch its own branded live music venues within its chain of movie theaters, according to president Shari Redstone.
The Dedham company is developing the concept with guidance and booking assistance from the Bensusan family, owners of the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City’s Times Square and the renowned Blue Note Jazz Club in Greenwich Village.
'What we see is creating auditoriums in several of our theaters that are primarily devoted to live entertainment,' Redstone said....
The as-yet-unnamed venues would be modeled after the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill, which offers patrons both dinner and entertainment. ...
National Amusements is testing a live music program at its Showcase Cinemas Buckland Hills in Manchester, Conn., which is being turned into a Cinema de Lux entertainment concept. The venue’s Chatters Bar & Grill hosted a four-week run of a cabaret-style show with Carol O’Shaughnessy this month and last, and is starting to feature live bands on Saturday nights."
