Wamu Theater

Has no soul

I saw Ryan Adams and the Cardinals with Oasis 8/26/08. I was really disappointed with the WaMu Theatre. The outside area where they have the bars, etc. was great - a great place to hang out and socialize before a show but the theatre itself was awful. It was my first time there for a show and I was not at all impressed. Too spread out and I felt like I was in a school auditorium, albeit with a better light show...I will never go back again, regardless of who plays there. Same kind of disconnect from a performer that you feel when you're in Key Arena...The sound was a little bit better but not great. Not like.

• Pros: Clean bathrooms, nice bar area
• Cons: Drinks ridiculously expensive, terrible sightlines, lacked warmth and comfort, sound too loud
