Today, the Palace Theatre announced three shows that will serve to officially open the downtown St. Paul venue in March.

Mayor Chris Coleman opened the venue's doors for a sneak peek last month, and visitors were impressed at how the venue looked and functioned after a two-year, $15.6 million renovation. Two spring shows were previously announced for the 100-year-old theater: Regina Spektor (March 26) and the xx (April 28).
