Review of Barbara B. Mann Performing Art...

We were really looking forward to our first visit ...

We were really looking forward to our first visit to Barbara Mann and to seeing Daugherty. The show began a there were super bright strobes on the stage at eye level blinding us every 10 seconds and when Chris Daughtry began singing we couldn't hear any clarity with the lyrics as he was singing through so much distortion. We couldn't deal with what was torture and got up to leave and as we headed towards the lobby door we noticed that the sound mixing board was located at the far left back corner under the balcony, which if you know anything about sound mixing couldn't be more ubsurd. We've been to many concerts around the country and have never seen the soundboards located anywhere other than in the middle of stage and halfway back. We spent a lot to have 10th row center floor seats which ultimately was as bad as listening to a coffee grinder. We feel bad for Daughtery and will never return to this theater
