Renovations will include a completely updated lobby, upgrades to the infrastructure, a new sound system, lighting and stage equipment, officials said. The seating area will also see a redesign, improving sightlines and greater comfort.
“The Plaza Live has been a cornerstone of the Orlando entertainment scene for years, hosting a wide range of concerts, comedy shows, and other events. The renovations will enable the venue to continue to provide high-quality entertainment experiences for decades to come,” the release read.
The projected end date for renovations was not announced.
In February, The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation sent a notice to the venue, announcing it could lose its liquor license after it hosted a Christmas drag show in December.
