After trekking to the entry way, we found out not this is the VIP entrance, our entrance was another trek to a long line. This line did not start moving until after the show started. I was subjected to 2 bag checks of my little clutch handbag and then again we were in a line that did not move. While we had given ourselves a decent amount of time to get to the concert it was now 20 minutes into it. The concert was excellent but I will not go to this venue again.

The snacks are very few that were available. Small bag of chips and some chocolate. This would be a great place for a date night play, or just taking yourself out for a little quiet time after a long week. They have a few plays I already see they will be having that seem like fun.

I went to a radio show which is titled classic radio roadshow in which live actors perform well known radio classics in front of a live audience with all the Foley sound effects. Look that up, it's interesting. If you close your eyes during the performance you can imagine watching a radio from times of yore. Classic shows were performed, some were Abbott and Costello, the Shadow, Gunsmoke etc. all the performers were well-seasoned. Obviously this is a period before TV and my upbringing, but I certainly appreciated the show. The funniest were the comedic skits. There are other types of theatre presentations throughout the year.

The clean sound system provided a pristine experience for crucial 90s moments like the opening bass of Divine Hammer. Orchestra seats were surprisingly the same price as most of the balcony, no idea whether that's a Ticketmaster thing or a Count Basie thing. Venue entry was quick and painless. There were no bathroom lines at off-peak moments, at closing time there were lines but not of record lengths. Geography note for NYC-area people: it's walkable to the train station but you might be waiting a bit.

If you're not in the first row of the main balcony the seats in the balcony are torture. There's only enough room to breathe - that's it.

I have always wanted to go check out a show here, so I'm grateful for the chance. Also, this was my first time seeing a ballet. The American Reportory Ballet is the group that put on the performance. The thing I loved about this theater is that it doesn't appear to be a bad seat in the house. I had a great view. Also, I loved that for this particular performance, they had characters from the show in the lobby that you could take pictures of or with. They also sold different souvenirs including actual nutcrackers, ornaments, and books. Another thing I noticed is that the staff are accommodating to people who have disabilities. I saw them remove a seat to make space for someone who uses a walker/wheelchair. I would definitely return to see another show!

After trying to learn on her own for over a year, she had become frustrated, but John's lessons have helped her regain confidence and excitement. She looks forward to every lesson and truly enjoys working with him, which is saying a lot coming from a teenager! John is patient, knowledgeable, and clearly loves teaching. He focuses not only on playing guitar but also on understanding the instrument, caring for it properly, and developing strong technique. I have sat in on several lessons and have been consistently impressed with his approach. I highly recommend John for guitar lessons.
