Mixed experiences at best
First of all, the Rose Theatre in Phoenix has no signage and the street address is the front of a maze of multiple story stores, offices and other businesses. We asked at least a dozen people in these shops and stores and a uniformed security officer- no one knew it was a full half block in the other direction......Finally, a volunteer Phoenix Ambassador showed the single recessed door with a half sign that was not there when we walked by 30 minutes earlier. He suggested going to the hotel across the street for a drink to unwind. Tickets were supposed to be picked up 30 min before show time; The doors opened 10 minutes before and the show started late to wait for one large party. Our tickets said BEST AVAILABLE #1 and 2- one did not know it was basically benches in a rectangle. Not comfortable. There were no best available. The Drunk Shakespeare show had some very funny and well delivered segments. It also had some poor taste attempts at improv that failed- miserably. Finally, Goldstar promoted tickets beginning at $12. To guarantee a seat with a back (which we did really not have on the benches in a rectangle with a bookcase as the seat back???? ), the cost was $59 plus fees. First time using Goldstar - not a stellar beginning. Not sure if we will try again.
