Correction: the Sunbeam Theatre's final night is tonight (March 3rd). The full house remark holds though.
Also, sharing a couple more pics: one from earlier today (yes, the final performances at the venue were an opera about Deng Xiaoping 😬); the other from last night.
The Sunbeam Theatre, with its two neon signs lit up.
"House Full" banner at a doorway; lights lit up and lots of people milling about in the lobby.
The ticketing area looks modern but the rest of the lobby area less so.
Doors closed; last performance taking place.
Full house on the Sunbeam Theatre's final night.
(The Sunbeam Theatre's the last private Cantonese opera theatre in Hong Kong.)
