I'm always disappointed when I get Broadway series tickets and they read "Ovens Auditorium." Why? Ovens is a place where you might expect to see music concerts or the circus when they're traveling through town. It's not where you'd expect to watch Broadway-style shows or musicals. There's no ambiance to it whatsoever. Add to that the parking situation (the main lot is on a hill and when that fills up you park across the street from that on rocks and/or grass) and its location (it's off Independence with no restaurants or lounges nearby to dine or relax in before or after the show), and you've got a lame theater-going experience. I would think Blumenthal could do better than pick Ovens for musicals and plays. It's not worth the same cost of a ticket that reads "Belk Theater" on it.
