Concert, yay. Venue, nay.
by BroadwayChick84 on 2/9/18The Club at Stage AE - PittsburghPoppy.Computer Tour 2018 was lots of fun. Poppy puts on a great show, and me and my friends all had a great time. I would highly recommend catching her show if you are a fan. My only gripe was with the venue. I have attended numerous shows at Stage AE, and every one of them has been good, but at every one of them they have used their big, main stage. This was not the case with Poppy. For Poppy, that main stage was walled off, and her stage was set up in the corner, at the end of the long room that was created because of the walls. The stage itself was not elevated, so what happened was the front row (maybe 10 or 12 people wide) got a great view of the stage and everybody else got a view of the back of someone's head; unless Poppy and her backup got up on the blocks that elevated them something like 3 feet off the ground. At 6' 2, I faired better than most. And even though we were all packed in like sardines I was able to snap a few halfway decent pics. I hope if/when Poppy makes it back to Pittsburgh, she and her fans get a better space.
