Vandals have graffitied Brighton Hippodrome the day after the front of the building was redecorated.
Restoring the disused Grade II listed theatre has been an ongoing project since 2015.
The redevelopment includes new rehearsal and performance spaces, a terrace, food and drink areas, roof repairs and the new facade.
Developers are looking to prosecute the vandals and say they will monitor CCTV closely.
"It’s extremely depressing when, after painstakingly refurbishing and redecorating the front elevation, a tagger randomly daubs graffiti all over it by the very next day," a spokesperson for Matsim Properties said.
