I decided to update my review after going Saturday night for Wicked. It seems that most of the reviews on Gammage are based on the shows. I have no issue with the shows. I have issue with the theatre itself.
The reason I'm dropping a star is because I noticed things that I'd never noticed before: the seats in the auditorium are awful. The arm rests are threadbare, with the wood showing through. The seat cushions have holes and are so worn it's like sitting on plywood for four hours.
If I were one of the many people on the list paying thousands of dollars a year, I'd be mad as hell and wondering where my money was going. Gammage needs to take those funds and renovate the seating and the restrooms. Spending 20 minutes in a line for the restrooms is completely unacceptable. If the folks here took the time to really give a crap about the venue, it could easily be a 5 star venue. But until that happens, we'll keep paying $100+ a ticket to see a phenomenal show there because it's pretty much our only option.
