As a somewhat regular visitor to the Kennedy Center, since my wife is a huge theater nerd, I’ll just add that it feels open to all. We dress up for the shows we see, but I also see people in jeans and t-shirts, and no one cares. It’s about the performance.
We just saw Shmigadoon there a few weeks ago, and we went to a John Oliver show back in December. I’ve seen numerous other shows there, like Wicked, Book of Mormon, Shear Madness, Ain’t Too Proud (twice!), Million Dollar Quartet, Spamalot, and Phantom of the Opera… And those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. And my wife and a friend of hers had season tickets, so they’ve seen a ton more shows.
We’re really saddened by this development. I can only hope the Center survives. It’s a cultural institution.
The only good news is that DC and Baltimore have a bunch of other excellent theaters, like Ford’s, the Hippodrome, National, etc.
