History

They would later end up receiving the 1988 Remodel removing the old Showbiz decor, and adding newer decor. In 1991, New Orleans received Concept Unification which removed the Rock-Afire for the 3-Stage, removing all Showbiz Pizza decor for the new decor, and a change to the exterior. New Orleans underwent another remodel in the Late 90's removing older decor, another exterior change, and added SkyTubes. In 2006-2007, New Orleans received the 2005 Remodel which removed all 1990's store art, Balcony Seating, Showroom Walls, an exterior remodel, and adding purple walls. As of January 2023, New Orleans still had the 2005 Remodel and the 3-Stage but had been listed for receiving 2.0. The show was removed the night of March 7, 2023.
