Lookin' Good, Alice Tully Hall

Curbed has a photograph of the renovated Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, and we have to say it looks great. (Lincoln Center's website has photographs of its massive renovation project's progess, including photo of the old ATH.) Our biggest pet peeve with the space, which is where many New York Film Festival films are screened, had been that the exit signs were brighter than hell—they were utterly distracting in the darkened space. As Hollywood Elsewhere's Jeffrey Wells wrote in 2001 for Reel.com, "The exit lights are so bright that they cast a red glow over everything within a 10- or 12-foot radius. And there's six or eight of them, so half the theater is lit up like a New Orleans cat house. All that needs to be done is for managers to insert bulbs behind the signs that don't have quite as much wattage." Now, it looks like the exits and signs are recessed—here's hoping!
