Yes, you aren't uptown and you don't get that grand GALA event type feel. But let's be honest, sometimes you just want to be able to wear jeans and watch a good show and this is where Ovens really shines. If you want to dress up, you can, if not, no biggie. Also, Belk uptown and some of the other places can't house the bigger sets so that's why you will see the larger shows that need bigger props etc. come to Ovens. I've seen Wicked and Adamms Family here and both were done with very high quality standards and seriously the feel of a broadway show. For those that have been to shows in NYC you know there are certainly worse theaters that house plays than this one!
