My comment is purely about the sound. If you have ever had the opportunity to enjoy one of the three theaters at La Jolla Playhouse, you know what sound in the theater can mean to the performance. Clear, crisp, every lyric or spoken word telling the great story on stage. BUT Segerstrom stage, who touted the "best sound" when they built it back in 1986 has been a huge disappointment. My family has faithfully subscribed to broadway, symphonies, ballets and concerts, hoping that with todays technology options they would surely fix the bad sound. How can they not be getting comments from the patrons? It is such a disservice to its paying audience and those amazing productions to not invest in the equipment that would make your theater great. Is anyone at the Center listing? PLEASE do something about the sound. Can anyone hear me out there?
