+: «Originally built as a movie theater in 1927, The Palladium served as a launching pad for punk acts like The Clash before former Studio 54 owners Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager repurposed the popular concert hall as a nightclub to capture the glittering, anything-goes energy of 80s new wave. The Michael Todd Room was a testament to that ethos: In a 1985 profile, The Washington Post described its bacchanalian energy as a place where “every fantasy and get-up fit in.”» (Lang, 2022)
