Still an exceptional facility. My wife and I were treated to this year's Nutcracker Ballet and we both commented that it was a much more energetic performance than last year. Brilliant.
During the performance, a light bulb crashed to the stage. The glass was spread out, so the performance could not continue, although they moved away from it and finished the dance. At that point, Michael Pink came on stage and said, "there is nothing quite like live theater". They brought the curtain down and brought in the clowns to start the cleanup and then maintenance people. Then the performance was resumed.
At the finale, the clowns were accorded a special ovation.
In and out from the parking ramp and the Skywalk was almost effortless even thought it was a full house. $15 to park is a bargain in many cities.
