I have been to the Smith Center many times. Exquisite venue, with great acoustics. i saw KD Lang there, and the sound was amazing.
Sadly i wasted my 4th of July listening to a cacophony at the Smith Center. i could not understand most of the lyrics or dialog. i literally could not understand a single word the fat kid said. I am sure it was a funny show. The sight gags were great.
It was plenty loud, i walked away at the end of the night unable to hear my wife clearly.
It was a mixing disaster. Who ever it was handling the sound should find another career, perhaps in a manufacturing plant where loud noise & unintelligible speech are the norm.
I will go back to Smith Center. I know the sound there can be fantastic. But this show left me feeling like I tossed 200 bucks in the trash.
