The recent article about the future of the Hippodrome Theatre ("Brighter days ahead for the Hippodrome?" July 31) may have been an attempt to lure people to attend the performances — or so I would guess.
My latest Hippodrome experience involved purchasing tickets (5) at the cost of $91.00 each with parking for a performance of West Side Story. The show was OK but the seats were a poor excuse for a theater that was renovated at the cost of $63 million.
Those in charge obviously forgot one very important feature — the comfort of the audience. The seats were not staggered but one right in front of the other. This made it almost impossible for my grandchildren to see above the head of the person sitting in front of them. Second, the leg room was minimal, even for an average adult.
