| - It feels weird being the first to review this Scottsdale fixture. I saw the Roche Sisters (dont ask) here twenty years ago and something called the Capitol Steps last week. Both shows were crowded. I mean, where ARE you people?
Maybe I'm the first person, under 80 and aware of YELP, to witness a show here. Could that be? Capitol Steps was pretty geriatric political humor. Lots of bailout and Cialis jokes. Overheard in the foyer:
My teen: Dad, I like politics but everyone here is, like, forty years older than me!
Me: Sixty. And dont stare.
But, hey, next week the SCFA calendar takes a decidedly edgier turn, so listen up Yelpers. Performing Dec 4th is....Yo' Mama!
Yeah, that's right sucka. Yo M...What's that? Oh. Really? Um...we have a schedule change to announce. It seems that performing Dec 4th at SCFA is... Yo Yo Ma. Sorry.
The theatre? There are two. We were in the big one, named after Virginia Piper. Seats around 800. Steep incline. Reasonably intimate. Good acoustics. Attractive wood accents. It's quite nice, really. Feels new.
The second theatre seats a hundred and thirty, and in a bizarre twist of local nomenclature is NOT named after Virginia Piper. It's called The Stage, and is capable of hosting Dexys Midnight Runners concerts and Pauly Shore Film Retrospectives. Simultaneously.
Nice venue, inside and out. Really. Nearby free parking. Go. Have the veal.
