The fact that there are only good reviews for this theatre is baffling as everyone sitting around me complained about the seating and lack of orchestra. Everyone was fanning themselves with their programs. And it will not cool down any after the lights go down. Lastly, the house lights are stage lights so dress very lightly because you will roast before the performance from the combination of the lights and body heat from sitting so closely to everyone. The ushers sat people who came late in the middle of the first part of the performance and it was very disruptive as they used flashlights and spoke very loudly, even though their policy stated no late seating. There is no space for an orchestra, even though they offer orchestra seating… so the ballet was done to a recording over a sound system that I truly believe the stereo in my car could have done a better job projecting. I say sadly because I’ve seen several of their performances at other theaters that were wonderful experiences.
I couldn’t sit fully back in my seat without touching the man’s shoulder next to me. I think I had more elbow room on an airplane than these seats. My seat was so uncomfortable I had to leave during intermission. The seats are actual fold out chairs with slight padding on the bottom only, set on top of noisy and unstable risers. This isn’t a theatre, this is a high school auditorium.
