michelle buteau is a gem, a national treasure, a phenomenal beauty inside and out. her performance was absolutely terrific. laughed and cried and laughed and cried. the sony hall staff were professional, prepared, friendly, efficient - they nailed it. email received to prep audience for show said it would be cabaret style at tables, for first arrivers and standing for those in the back of the line, and that all, seated or standing, would be provided dinner and drink service. that was not the case. seats were in rows, there was no food, and you had to get drinks at the bar. not a huge deal, but because of expectations - provided by ticketmaster or venue, unprompted - skipped dinner and didn't eat til midnight. experience was still fantastic because michell buteau!!!!!!!!!!! but suggest accuracy in pre-event emails going forward to manage guest expectations. love you michelle and sony hall employees!!!!
