"This world-famous performance venue is steeped in cultural history and is animated by longtime resident historian and head tour guide Billy Mitchell, who shares stories from more than five decades of experience. Visitors often report an immediate, almost spiritual lift upon entering—the guide describes a palpable, positive energy in the building that makes people feel safe, joyful, and on their best behavior. Mitchell’s tours and anecdotes emphasize the venue’s remarkable atmosphere and storied past, a theme also explored on the Let's Go Together podcast." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
