"This wasn't just another gig for Sam Smith. I can't believe we are finally here, the British pop star said on Tuesday night. I have to say, out of all the shows I have ever done in my life, this is by far the most special show. What made this night so special? Well, for one thing it was the start of Smith's 20-night To Be Free: San Francisco concert residency which, in and of itself, is special enough."
"The opening concert for this rejuvenated palace after going through a yearlong $41 million restoration shepherded by concert promoter Another Planet Entertainment turned out to be a glorious success. Yes, the sold-out crowd the first of 20 that will fille the building for this residency that stretches into mid-March loved hearing Smith, whose vocals were in pristine form during the 80-minute set."
Sam Smith opened a 20-night To Be Free: San Francisco concert residency with a sold-out performance at the Castro Theatre. The Timothy Pfleuger-designed theater reopened following a yearlong $41 million restoration overseen by concert promoter Another Planet Entertainment. Attendance celebrated the theater’s rebirth and its significance to the neighborhood and LGBTQ+ community. Smith performed an 80-minute set with pristine vocals and frequently praised the room's importance for queer audiences. The theater remains owned by the Nasser family and will operate as a mixed-use arts facility hosting concerts, comedy, and films, including a fundraising screening of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
