ABOUT THE ROXY THEATRE: The theatre was first opened on Feb. 1st, 1921 as the LYRIC Theatre by Harry Hartman who previously had several other nickelodeons in Northampton. After a Depression-era sale and renovation, the first season the newly-named “Roxy Theatre” saw vaudeville on the stage, along wild west shows, minstrels and local productions. Stage fare was discontinued as a regular part of the programming in the spring of 1934. The late fifties saw the return of live entertainment upon the Roxy’s stage, when concerts featuring singers Bobby Vinton, Bobby Rydell and Fabian were presented. Artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, John Belushi, Blood Sweat & Tears, Martin Mull, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Gilda Radner, KISS, Golden Earring, Melissa Manchester along with many others were featured in the 70s and 80s.
