Time Out says

One of San Francisco's finest and best-loved repertory cinemas, this movie palace was built in 1922. It became a registered landmark 55 years later, giving it the protection it deserves. These days it's a dream space of classical murals and rare old film posters, with ceilings that shimmer with gold and films introduced to the strains of a Mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ.

What’s on

Melanie C

Melanie C has spent the past few years leaning back into the dance music that shaped her long before arena pop, and this tour is built around that renewed connection. The latest material draws from house, disco and club culture without treating nostalgia as the main attraction, which makes this a much more interesting night than a straightforward greatest hits set. Of course, the catalog still matters, and hearing those unmistakable pop anthems alongside newer, club-focused tracks gives the show its appeal. It also feels like a natural fit for the newly reopened Castro, where a room designed for cinema now comfortably accommodates concerts with a full standing audience. If you've been curious about how the venue works as a live music space, this is the kind of pop booking that makes a convincing case for it.
