Speaking of Cambridge, we went among the travelers last night to take in a show at the Zero Arrow Theater - Mike Daisey's Monopoly. It was a good show. He's very bright, funny and a good storyteller. I can't say I agree with his anti-capitalist message, but I like hearing from people I disagree with. (Not that I've managed to listen to a single speech by the President in six years, but it's a priniciple I try to honor.)
The theater sucks, though. I mean, it's a good effort, with nice restrooms and a fine stage. But if you're going to skimp on one thing in a new theater, I recommend it not be the seats. At the Zero Arrow, the seats are cheap injection-molded plastic, a lot like the Little Tikes riding products for kids. That would be OK, except they're slippery. I was fighting to stay in my chair the whole time.
Go see Mike Daisey; bring double-sided tape.
yeah, pretty much any time you start a theater review with good bathrooms, it's probably going to go downhill from there.

I'm guessing that...
"The audience had to tape themselves in their seats"
...won't make it into their advertising.
