Really disappointed by the late start time yesterday -- although the concert itself was very good. To start almost 20 minutes late (at almost 10:50 rather than the advertised 10:30) with an audience full of squirmy little kids (whose parents grew frustrated trying to keep the kids happy and quiet while they sat doing nothing, and with nap and lunch schedules on their minds) was disrespectful and unacceptable. I asked an usher at 10:45 if it'd start soon, and he answered impatiently that they were busy seating late-comers. What?! Why were the 90% of audience members who arrived on time waiting on the 10% who arrived late? That's nuts -- and disrespectful. I have a suggestion: rope off the back third of a seating section near the door where you take tickets, open it at 10:25 for late-comers, and then direct late arrivals to quietly go sit in that area. And start the concert by 10:35 out of respect for the other 90% of the audience! P.S. I'm not the only person who was very frustrated by the late start. I heard two others speak up to complain (unprompted by me).
