This is the saddest review that I will ever give. Most of you remember going to the old Civic Center, in fact, going there in August, getting up early, making the long line to get tickets for the Broadway shows, or when Itzhak Perlman came around (sigh, that's still one of the top nights of my life...), and seriously, it was a JOY having such a fantastically old building, so much character, so much value. Then they go to invest millions of money Madison doesn't have, and make this GOD AWFUL building made out of glass. Ok, so the decor is not the important part (although HELLO... modern much, in the midst of lovely brick buildings is NOT good), it's the experience. WHICH SUCKS by the way. I've been both a member of the audience as well as a musician performing. As an audience, it SUCKS to pay ~$90 for good seats on a show, and BARELY being able to hear the performance. Sound engineering FAILED MISERABLY here. As a performer, backstage is deplorable and quite inconvenient. Save your money, and go to Chicago for good shows. Sadly, Madison's trick to push all the students out of the downtown area, and move in the Yuppies is failing, or maybe the yuppies don't have good appreciation of music, and as long as it costs a lot it *MUST* be good...
How would this review be described in terms of sentiment?
