Moulin Rouge
by artteacher on 11/4/19Al Hirschfeld Theatre - New YorkWonderful event ! Cast and set TOP notch ! Amazing how the Al Hirschfeld Theatre was transformed into a magical place ! The staff was welcoming however once the performance started the ushers did not monitor the audience quite enough. A group directly in front of us were " hooting and hollering" with arms in air fist pumping like they were at arena concert. They silenced their mobile devices but checked them frequently, texting and the bright screens were distracting. Near the end of the performance they stood , videoing the stage and had to be told by several guests nearby to sit down. I have attended many shows in other Jujamcyn theaters as well as other Broadway theaters and never had this type of negative experience. It was more than disappointing. I left feeling the $350.00 I spent for the tickets should have included being able to enjoy the performance to the fullest.
