More on the Fillmore:
Originally called the Miami Beach Auditorium, the The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater is a theater which in the 1960s was renamed for Jackie Gleason. In 1964 Gleason moved his popular television series, The Jackie Gleason Show to the Miami Beach Auditorium.
The theater was renovated in 2007 [3] and was renamed The Fillmore as part of a management contract. The name comes from an expansion of the brand made famous by music promoter Bill Graham and the famous The Fillmore in San Francisco. It is now home to live concerts, productions and can be rented for special events. The theater is now operated and managed exclusively by Live Nation. On May 5, 2010, NBC Miami reported that the theater would be demolished as a result of remodeling for the convention center, which would replace the theater with a new hotel.
The demolition did not take place and The Fillmore Miami Beach is still in operation as of January 2015.
