点评:The unfriendly, airport like security procedures before even stepping into the building seem a little much but perhaps they've had trouble in there before. The entrances to the seats are funneled by rough stone walls, and people cram up tightly to get past them to the seats. I was stuck in this crowd when some woman decided that she wanted a program handed to her by another person on the other side of me and stuck her arm right out in front of my nose until she got what she wanted, then decided she wanted another program and did the same thing again. She knew very well what she did and couldn't be bothered to apologize or anything. There were busloads of people brought to the performance that day (from Philadelphia I was told), and evidently, some have no basic manners at all. There were also clots of them standing blocking doors and everywhere else. Perhaps this is why there are metal detectors and stern looking security guards outside the building. It's lucky I'm somewhat passive in public or that rude woman might have gotten a taste of her own behavior. As for the performance itself, it was up to their usual standards, good costumes, acting and really good special effects, so I can't complain about any of those aspects of this theatre. The traffic flow for visitors could be a lot better though, and so could the placement of the restrooms, which are on the other end of the building, past the concessions and down several carpeted steps. One wrong move and a person could fall or twist their ankle quite badly. I have mentioned this in reviews before, and it's still the same. The seats are comfortable enough and entering and exiting are easy.
翻译:甚至在进入大楼之前,那些类似机场般的严苛安检程序似乎有些过分了,不过也许他们以前在那里遇到过麻烦。通往座位的入口被粗糙的石墙所限制,人们挤作一团才能通过这些入口到达座位。当时我也被困在人群中,这时有个女人突然想要拿到站在我另一侧的人递给她的节目单,于是她把胳膊直接伸到我眼前,直到拿到想要的东西才罢休。后来她又决定要另一个节目,于是又做了同样的事。她很清楚自己做了什么,却懒得去道歉或做任何解释。那天有好几辆大巴车把人群送到演出现场(据我所知是从费城来的),显然,其中有些人毫无基本礼仪可言。他们还成群结队地站着,堵住了门口和其他各处通道。或许正因如此,大楼外才设置了金属探测器以及神情严肃的保安人员吧。幸运的是我在公众场合比较温顺,不然那个粗鲁的女人可能就要为自己的行为付出代价了。至于演出本身,也达到了他们一贯的水平:服装不错,表演出色,特效也相当棒,因此对于这家剧院的这些方面我没什么可挑剔的。不过,观众的动线安排可以改进得多一些,卫生间的位置也有待调整——它们位于大楼的另一端,要穿过餐饮区,再走下几级铺着地毯的台阶才能到达。稍有不慎,人就可能会摔倒或严重扭伤脚踝。我之前在评测中也提到过这一点,现在情况依旧如此。座椅还算舒适,上下车也很方便。
