Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner
The Waitress Evolve show was easily in my top 3, with great stage presence and crowd interaction. The video and light effects combined made for an overall great show. The most ingenious part was the confetti generators, pushing the performance effects over the top. I was not expecting the effects show I witnessed, but I knew the music would be awesome. I’ll be seeing them again!
The staff at the venue were very courteous and helpful. I wish there were more options to purchase a soda, rather than only at the food concessions. You can buy beer all over the place, including at the food concessions, but if you want a Pepsi, you have to stand in line with everyone wanting french fries and chicken fingers.
