| - Extremely talented dancers, fun host, great energy, terrible acoustics, wonky stage layout, bad lighting, and a worthless general admission seating area. I think that about covers it.
It's a shame, really. The talent is so evident in these beautiful dancers, but everything around them just seems lacking. The stage is shallow and long, which appears crowded at times and makes for terrible viewing angles from the GA section. There are two support beams that make for really awkward movements around them. I truly feel for the performers.
Specifically in the show I attended, sound in the GA section was mainly filled with a subwoofer going nutso, reverbing out the sharp corner angle near the stairs. Fix yo sh*t, Chateau. Hopefully this gets resolved in the future. Lighting was slow to highlight what was going on, and there were parts being lighted up even when nothing was happening in that area. I'm also not sure what the purpose was for Shangela asking the audience what they'd like to see in the show. It never seemed to come back up, or if it did, it wasn't clear.
Shaeja was my favorite dancer, but honestly, they are all extremely talented and will fuel many mental fantasies. Straight, gay, bi, whatever, there's something here for everyone. If I weren't overly critical, I'd say go see this show to amp up for the night. It's fun. It's loud. It's a good time in the making.
