```Weird Al Yankovic Evansville reviews
Nothing to see here
The worst seats I have ever sat in any theater, ever has got to be Row A LOGE at the Count Basie Theater. So much that if you are anything under 6ft as my wife and many others are, there is a 4ft solid wall directly in your line of view. Count Basie and Hackensack Meridian sank all this money into the venue to build an upgraded lobby which was barren, but they couldn't spare a few dollars to renovate the theater and remove or reconstruct this wall for a better viewing experience? Shame on Ticketmaster for leaving no mention of the "obstructed view" when given the option to purchase tickets. Sitting at the edge of our seats for the entire show still to have half the stage view cut-off is absurd. Great music, horrible venue!
