My husband and I were in awe of the DPAC. We thought the building was just gorgeous and the parking deck right next door was a plus in the chilly conditions. The bathrooms and concessions were easily accessible on every floor (and we had to climb all the way to the top level with our tickets). Once we settled into our seats, the extremely vertical view was a little startling. But once we got over that we couldn't believe how large the theatre was. I had very high expectations for the performance, knowing that original cast members were in the production, and they didn't disappoint. I had only seen the movie, which I didn't like very much. I felt like we were in New York City watching it on Broadway. My husband loved it also. I can't say enough about it. It was mesmerizing.
