My wife and I were a little disappointed that the tour lasted a mere 25 minutes - our guide arrived 5 minutes late and.....er......’forgot’ to add the time on at the end!
Yes, we were impressed with the mighty auditorium, particularly as we had watched the Oscar ceremony a fortnight ago but would have liked to see some behind the stage facilities, orchestra pit etc.
Perhaps a short introductory film at the start of the tour would also have added to the interest and experience. It could show highlights from Oscar ceremonies over the years, any amusing incidents (e.g. wrong winner announcements, gaffs in acceptance speeches, stumbles/trips on stage, MC jokes etc) and excerpts of other events hosted at the Dolby. This would have been preferred to looking at a small iPad image used to occasionally illustrate the tour.
