However, last night the Astor revealed via it’s Facebook page that their campaign to save the theatre had been successful:
“We want to say THANK YOU. We want to thank you more than you can possibly know. EVERYONE who signed our petition, joined our membership, retweeted or shared our posts, told a friend and showed their support on June 16th should be very proud. Because of your passion and support we can finally announce the good news: our PROTECT THE Astor Theatre campaign has been a SUCCESS! The building (1-9 Chapel St) has been SOLD. More details and an official announcement from the president to follow in the coming days. THANK YOU!! And LET’S CELEBRATE!!!”
