2011 Staff Pick: Best revival
The Beacham Theater on North Orange Avenue officially opened its doors in 1921 as a vaudeville venue. Since then, it’s had multiple renaissances, but none as dramatic as the one seen in March. Although the grand opening was technically on March 11 with G. Love & Special Sauce, we prefer to think of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ rollicking set a couple weeks later as the venue’s real start date. With an improved look and better acoustics, the Beacham is already a power player in town, and the hits keep coming as evidenced by last week’s Animal Collective show.
