text: I am torn between and stars on this one I am rounding up from for historys sake much of Charlotte was built in the last years so this venue predates that by a long shot nnIts old so it is been renovated a few times The seats have been replaced and they almost have enough room between them for my frame The bad thing however is how close you are to the person or persons sitting next to you If that is not someone you know you may feel uncomfortable as you will be running up on themnnThe place is decent for a comedy show but not so get for some of the Broadway tours I have seen The acoustics are not very good and the close proximity of the seats may make it difficult for you to see over someone like me The lobby is small with one big bar and a small one taking up almost half of it Another negative is the parking I really do not like places where you have no option but to pay them to park I never pay to park uptown Also trying to get a thousand cars out of a parking lot onto Eastway is dangerous even with cops directing traffic The lack of light rail access to here is an inconveniencennShows are usually booked here due to price availability of other theatres or if the show may draw more people than what the Belk Theatre holds since Ovens holds about more people For that reason I have seen Wicked Spamalot and Rent here but would have enjoyed all more at Belk as it is just a much more comfortable environment I have also seen Robin Williams here and he was absolutely hilarious so Ovens sufficed for that performance The bottom line is that I will go to Ovens if I have to but I would rather she shows at other places
