If you have the opportunity to attend a concert, ballet, or touring stage production at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, do so. Originally a movie palace, this 1,700-plus-seat theater is as far from a mall multiplex as you can get. The auditorium was built as the Olympia Theater in 1926, and its ornate palace interior is typical of that era, complete with fancy columns, a huge pipe organ, and twinkling "stars" on the ceiling. Rudy Vallee, Martha Raye, Elvis Presley, and Jackie Gleason all performed in this former movie palace, now restored as a concert hall with a fabulous marquee. Resembling a Moorish courtyard inside, with twinkling "stars" in the "sky," it hosts the annual Miami Film Festival and other cultural events.
