More recently, the theatre was home to the musical "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (2011–2012) and to the Broadway revival of "Annie", (2012–2014). "An American in Paris", a new musical stage adaptation of the 1951 MGM film, opened April 12, 2015 for an 18-month run. On November 25, 2016 "The Illusionists: Turn of the Century" opened for a limited engagement through January 1, 2017. The revival of "Sunset Boulevard" played a five-month limited engagement from February 2, 2017 through June 25, 2017, starring Glenn Close. The next show at the Palace was "SpongeBob SquarePants", a musical adaptation of the children's television series. It began previews on November 6, 2017 and ran from December 4, 2017 to September 16, 2018. "SpongeBob" was the last show to play at the theater prior to the long-planned renovation. The reconstruction is estimated to keep the Palace closed until 2021. As part of the construction of TSX Broadway, a hotel and retail structure, the Palace Theatre would be raised using jacks.
