Now that you mention it, I'm trying to remember whether the place where I saw Les Mis from the nosebleed seats had tv screens--but I don't think so. I just remember thinking that seeing little specs on the stage where I couldn't make out their faces at all wasn't something that I felt was worth what the tickets cost. At least there wasn't any illicit smoke.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-42418490321992084952011-02-01T16:34:38.246-08:002011-02-01T16:34:38.246-08:00I have to tell you that such a place exists.

It's an outdoor venue on a slope.<br /><br />When you enter, you walk up a gradual paved slope to get to your seats. The "seats" at the top of the hill consist of a sloped expanse of grass, followed by rows of uncovered seats. The rest of the seats are under a covered pavillion, but are at a pretty steep angle, similar to what you might see at a newer movie theatre, with the stage at the bottom.<br /><br />The best parts are that it DOES have two large TV screens for viewing the action, that tickets cost a small fortune, and you leave thinking the exact same thing you thought in your dream: "I paid $xyz to watch... a TV screen?" Except in reality you're surrounded by people who think they can smoke cigarettes/pot just because they're outside, which might be worse than playing children.Cat @ IASThttp://itsaspringthing.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-37948967959184710132011-01-31T08:17:12.186-08:002011-01-31T08:17:12.186-08:00Oh, I like that!

You spend a lot of money, and effort and time trying to get to hear the beautiful music but the harder you try, the farther away and the less satisfied you become with what you've gotten for your money and effort.<br />I could go on but then I'd have to charge you $100.00/hour :-)Cedarfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822477553207119803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-81064673687179831282011-01-30T11:59:59.109-08:002011-01-30T11:59:59.109-08:00[sobs quietly]Any time now, I'm sure.[sobs quietly]Any time now, I'm sure.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-2515649672119744872011-01-30T11:05:45.472-08:002011-01-30T11:05:45.472-08:00That is hilarious -- I'm totally laughing out...That is hilarious -- I'm totally laughing out loud here!
