text: I went with the girlfriend to see Cats at Ovens this place did not impress me all that much It was my first trip to the theater so I decided to dress up with a tucked in button down I was pretty surprised that a good number of people there were not dressed up at all I also was not impressed with the auditorium it seemed very old getting to the rundown stage We sat far back for the show the seats were almost too far back My eyes have gotten pretty bad I am sure for some of the older folks in the crowd it can really be a hassle sitting too far backnnWhen the lights were on the place seemed just too shoddy for theater performances I usually think of theaters plays being in nicer venues but Ovens just does not cut it But when the lights went off I realized none of that stuff really mattered The performance was very good even though I had no idea what was going on the sound was fine I was pleased with the whole thing other than being too far awaynnLike I have said before I am no rich man but the play would have been a much more enjoyable experience if we were sitting closer I would recommend closer balcony seats over farther away lower level seats nnSo Ovens really did not impress me in the looks department but once the lights went off the performance on stage did not disappoint Not one of the best places in Charlotte to catch a play but also not the worst either
