Can we get the sound issues fixed?
by Orrski on 3/29/18Fox Performing Arts Center - RiversideI have been to the Fox Theatre a few times now, and find it sometimes good and sometimes lacking. This was one of the lacking times. The performances were good, with the dancing being the strongest part of the show. The sound tech was spotty at many instances, and this greatly distracts from the over impression of the show. It is after all, a musical, and I believe the most important part to get right. And especially because this is a wonderful score, with several beautiful musical moments, but if you can't understand the performers because you can't hear them, well....bummer. I would expect that with all of the amazing technology available today, these issues could be solvable. Oh, and hire a real orchestra, with more than a handful playing, or don't. Either use a great soundtrack, or spend the money for getting the real deal. The thinly scored substitute was a noble effort, but not making the grade.
