The Paramount Huntington
'
Since opening on September 30, 2011, the
Paramount Theatre
in Huntington, Long Island, New York, has hosted an extraordinarily varied range of different events from live music performances to stand-up comedy specials to boxing events. The theater can seat up to 1,573 people and includes a massive main upper level dance floor, fixed side loge-balcony seating boxes on opposite sides of the stage, mezzanine seating and a skybar. The Paramount also boasts a VIP Founder's Room for its members, which fits up to 450 people. What makes this place even more special is its fondness for putting on hologram performances by deceased artists, allowing fans to feel the energy and have the experience of a live performance by an artist who's no longer with us. The Paramount Theatre hosts an average of 200 events per year and has been ranked the #5 club venue nationwide for two years in a row by
Pollstar Magazine.

''The Paramount Theatre events are known include holographic concerts of deceased artists. With hologram technology, the venue can replay an old performance of some artist like Frank Zappa or Ronnie James Dio by projecting a hologram of the artist onto the stage. This gives fans the chance to know what it's like to see someone live who can no longer perform in person.'
'Some Paramount Theatre seating is wheelchair accessible. There is an elevator in the main lobby that allow guests with disabilities to reach their seats. However, there is no elevator service to the skybar or mezzanine seats. The floor area is specially sectioned off for wheelchair access, however, and theater staff can arrange to take all patrons in wheelchairs or who need assistance there.'
