Hey, this isnt New York people!
I dont know what the folks on here are complaining about...I have been to many productions at the Pantages, as well as other theatres in LA and the OC...it is a beautiful theatre...I have seen Wicked, Lion King (both productions - the first was better) Oklahoma, Evita, Joseph, and many more...for us here in Southern Cal, this is it! Duh...this isnt Broadway! I DO however, agree that the volume is very low...hard to understand talking. And PLEASE, STOP LETTING PEOPLE EAT DURING THE PLAY!!!! If you are a person that eats during the show, please stop...your disgusting crunching, smacking, crinkling of wrappers, and your noisy bratty kids are annoying, and very rude.
