Great show / less desirable venue
by Deb M on 1/30/23San Jose Civic - San JoseRating: 3 out of 5I had been anxiously waiting to take my mom and her friends for her birthday traveling 2 hours to come to the show. Venue: The venue was just ok. The seating was less desirable as the chairs were folded padded chairs that were so close to the row in front in front of you that you couldn’t barely even move you legs without hitting the chair in front you. Security: Security was great and very knowledgeable. Show: Show was great. I was there for a more touching and spiritual interaction, however that did not happen. The ladies/girls behind us were so entitled that they wrecked the ambience with their constant talking, getting up, hitting us in the head, having their phones ringing, and just killing the mood. Henry did a great job trying to navigate the rudeness of others that elected to not turn off their phones. It caused him to try to deflect making comments about spirits calling in that evening, which he then had his mom grab another question to bring the audience back in. I would recommend making additional announcements before the show about turning ringers off before, during the show. I had seen Henry in the past at the Gallo Arts Center and it was the most amazing show ever. I’m saddened that our party did not experience the same thing as I have done in the past due to these disrespectful guests. I’m saddened that my moms birthday ended up not being what the experience she was excited to have. To anyone looking to come to his show or anyone else’s show, don’t be that person who thinks you are the only person that matter. Respect the rules of turning your phone off, others are also paying to attend and you are not the headliner.
