State-of-the-art acoustics and comfortable seats make for a terrific live theater venue but there are a several negatives which make what could be an incredible night out into a substandard experience:
Washrooms: the men's washrooms has absolutely no lineup, whereas the identically sized women's washrooms have lineups 30-40 deep during intermissions. The obvious solution is to either convert a few of the men's to women's, or reduce the size of the men's washrooms to allow for expansion of the women's. My 6-month pregnant wife was struggling to wait 12-15 minutes without a hope in hell of making it back before the end of the intermission.
Parking: there is a single corridor leading to the parking structure.it's probably about 12-15 feet wide but they had it roped off in one section due to some construction to a ridiculous bottleneck passage that only allowed 2 people through at a time. So you've got 2,500 people trying to leave by squeezing through a metre-wide passage two-by-two. Poor planning and atrocious execution.
Refreshments: packed house showing of Les Miserables with 2,500 in attendance but only the main floor bars are open? Seriously? The second and third floors each have one bar at either end, but all 4 save the main floor are serving only water bottles. Good luck getting a drink in time to make it back for the second half of the show. Bonus points if you're able to pull it off while trying to get your pregnant wife into a bathroom while keeping an eye on your 8-year old.
