Simply Great, Just do not bring a purse with you! we had to take it back to the car. ( It was to big in size we were told) Nurse John was Incredible!
This building is an affront to the very concept of building codes. Two 3-stall bathrooms for 2,000 people. Unbelievable. The building was so clogged with people and such narrow exits that a real emergency would've resulted in hundreds trampled. Fantastic acoustics when the microphones work.
Average at best. Might be a little generous. The floor seats are very tiny and the long rows are close together. You’re going to be bumping into the people next to you all night. I am an average size guy, and I thought it was cramped. For the hundreds of people attending, there was one bar with two servers. There was a decent variety of drinks, but the only food available was pretzels and popcorn. One beer, one water and two pretzels cost $48. Also, you will be turned away if your date is carrying a purse. Handbags smaller than a large index card are allowed. Basically- if it holds more than a cell phone, lipstick and a tampon, it’s too big. Compact umbrellas are OK.
Spent a lot of money on tickets to see Brad Williams and guy said my purse was too big and my husband was inside with car keys and was really rude stating I couldn’t call him or come in. My purse is not that big. Staff was very rude. Won’t buy or come here again.should have been listed somewhere you cannot bring purses or jackets vs. making you late to the show.
A night of hilarity which all of us needed. Great upper center seats. Acoustics were great.
