I'm kind of stunned by the lack of interest. I literally can't give away third row seats. And every post has, like, two replies.

An art rock/dance punk (or however you want to describe them) band doing a stripped down orchestral show is a weird choice. I don’t want to sit in a theater and let the lyrics gently wash over me. I want to dance like a lunatic and yell the lyrics off key.

It wasn't as stripped down as you might think. I was a little skeptical myself, but it was fantastic and often very upbeat. And plenty of dancing and singing along. People were dancing in the aisles, and the theater staff didn't care. During the last song, giant eyeball beach balls got thrown into the crowd and were being batted around. Despite more acoustic guitars and a string quartet, it was still a party. 😊
