On a tour just last week of the Civic, in which an intrepid rep led Metro through every nook and cranny of the building, we were impressed at the sheer scope of the renovations under way. Nederlander is giving a venue with a lot of potential a much-needed makeover, dragging it into the 21st century. From essentials like better sound, seating and amenities to nice touches like the warmer look and emphasis on the building's Spanish design, this project deserves applause. And with the bookings getting more interesting, this could be the start of another great era for the storied Civic.
