Place is old And stained. I can understand preserving history but clean and renew the place to make it radiate history not literally save the crumbs from 10 years ago or stains on the seats from 20 years go for new patrons. We spent $60 on 2 mixed drinks and a water. Absolutely highway robbery on prices, then the tip is forced without a way to choose your own dollar amount. So pay cash if you dare to pay the price and want the right to tip what it should be. The bathroom is literally in the basement of the place so it you are in the top seating, it's about a 10 minute hike down many flights of stairs where they have 2 of 6 stalls in service and a bathroom attendant trying to get more money out of you for tips to hand you a paper towel you could get yourself. Meanwhile, you're missing 30 minutes of the hour set of the main performer to make that trip so pee before the show or wear depends if you couldn't make it down that far to use the bathroom. You have to put your cell phone in a privacy envelope during the show that's literally locked up like you stole it so no one can record the show it document how gross the place is. If you have kids and the sitter needs you, she's on her own for 2 hours because you cannot see your phone. They'll unlock it if you go outside of the show, down the flights of stairs and miss more of the show. The opening act for Michael Che wasn't funny and for the price, I'd never attend this theater again.
