Re the NYP piece, I used to be scared walking Avenue C in the late 80s. Now I just want to scare somebody.
Can't say that I have warm and fuzzy feelings about the Ohio theater - that's where I saw the worst theatrical production of my life. We actually ended up physically barred from getting the hell out by performers who sat down in the aisle, effectively holding the audience hostage. Oh - did I mention the 10-feet-away onstage smoking? My pregnant wife loved that.
