Vertigo ensues almost immediately. The seats are also ridiculously uncomfortable: absolutely no leg room, worse than the worst airplane seat. No clear evacuation procedures, God forbid something happens, you can't even get out of the seat in a timely manner. But steepness and vertigo are literally making me sick. It is a hazard for health! Not to mention that bathrooms are "inclusive " right now, with multiple stalls. So men and women mingle and wait in same lines for same toilet stalls. Speak about made feel uncomfortable. I guess the comfort of majority is unimportant now.

I went to the American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.)'s Loeb Drama Center for a performance of…read moreRhinoceros two weeks ago with my husband and a couple of friends. A.R.T. was founded in 1980, and it's been an important professional, not-for-profit theater since its founding. It's gone lots of Tony awards and other theater accolades to show for it. Our experience was great. The play was outstanding. It was a treat to see that cast in such a unique, timely play. The theater was intimate, and there's not a bad seat in the house. The line for the bar and bathrooms wasn't bad. And it just felt like a special theater experience. A.R.T. is moving soon - to a new theater: the David E. and Stacey L. Goel Center for Creativity & Performance in Allston. While I think it's too bad that the theater's new location won't be as accessible by public transportation (it's now just a short walk from Harvard station), but I'm sure it will be beautiful facility. I'm glad I got to see this incredible production in Loeb Drama Center before they move in 2027! A special and unique place for theater if you're lucky enough to find yourself in Boston. If you can go see Rhinoceros before it closes, you should!

Every seat I've sat in has had a great view of these high-quality productions. I appreciate that you are given a physical program, but you scan the QR code for the full program. The staff are all friendly and happy to help. They offer a nice selection of snacks and drinks to purchase that you can bring into the theater. They also validate parking at the information desk after you scan your ticket. There's plenty of great restaurants nearby to have dinner at before an evening show - I try a new one each time I visit the ART. Plus, cannolis from Mike's Pastry are nearby, so no need to travel to the North End!

I think this would be a lovely architecture tour if we didn't have the event lights and noise of a DJ at the site. We visited an event here (not the theater part) where they had a Music America exhibit downstairs, and servers and music up in the main lobby. Very loud space and could use some more seating for the event, but was a fun gathering for ISDA hosted by LSEG. Cool venue, contains both the Wang and Shubert Theatres. An extraordinary gift in 1983 from Dr. An Wang, founder of Wang Laboratories, ushered in the era of The Wang Center for the Performing Arts and lead to a total of around $10mm in donations to help restore the theater in the 1980s.

I was in contact with Gil Rose in 2015 regarding sponsorship of a recording project of the music of…read morethe late Harold Shapero (specifically, Shapero's Serenade in D, Credo, On Green Mountain, Partita and Sinfonia). Around that time, I had sent a fairly sizeable donation through the sale of a significant portion of my record collection, and had enlisted the help of Mr. Shapero's widow to contribute towards the project as well. I was in contact with Mr. Rose again in August 2018 and was told that the recording was finally "in the can" but that BMOP needed an additional $1,000 for editing costs---with the promise that I would receive an audition copy of the CD if I again ponied up. I duly sent the additional funds but have not heard anything further from Mr. Rose. No audition CD has been received; repeated phone calls and emails to Rose and his staff have gone unanswered. At this point, I have to assume that either the project fell through and the funds were used for other things, or that there never were any serious plans to do the recording in the first place. Either way, I feel duped. The financial loss, while not inconsequential for someone of my modest means, is not as devastating to me as the fact that my promise to Harold Shapero, made shortly before his death to do everything in my power to promote his music, will now go unfulfilled. Potential investors in any future BMOP projects may want to take heed.

Go early to get a good seat, or, better, a table. You'll meet musicians, composers, and conductors, as well as the odd listener like me.

This is complete robbery. It says limited view- what it should say is shitty view aka can't see much. Miss half the show. I am extremely lucky that this was my third time seeing Blue Man. Unfortunately, someone I was with (a 9 year old) it was their first time. I had them move into better seats as I sat in the crappy seats for the whole show. The family behind me had 4 girls ranging in age from 6-14. I felt AWFUL for them. Should have thrown the money down the toilet. They couldn't see! One last bit... at the end I stood up in front of my seat and an usher came up and told me to stay out of the aisle. I WAS IN FRONT OF MY SEAT! The Blue Man Group: Show was 1.5 hrs. I paid $230 for 1.5 hrs. The show was short. It was nothing new or interesting from other shows I have seen. To be honest, this show was the most uninteresting out of all three Blue Man I have gone too. Other venues had larger stages so more action took place. This was less drumming, less paint banging, less audience interaction. It's not to say what they did they didn't put effort forth. It's to say that Chicago did it better. The cast members walked around afterwards. You could take photos with them . The travelling show in RI did it better. If you stick around you need to make some changes, keep people coming back. Keep them interested and want to spend the money to keep watching. The had the people on the floor in the front put on ponchos. WHY? They only sprayed water once into the audience! If I had paid the $225 for a seat in the front I would be PISSED!

This was followed by Beethoven's 7th, arguably the "greater" piece, which was very well performed, but it was a poor choice to play it after the Mozart since Beethoven's lack of "flow" or cohesiveness was all the more apparent after the seamless perfection of Mozart's composition. Overall, it's difficult to complain. They turned an unfortunate circumstance around and provided what was easily the best performance (live or recorded) of Mozart's 29th I've ever experienced as well as very good performance of Beethoven's 7th.
