I don't buy that answer at all. I have been to most theaters in NYC on Broadway and none of those theaters have sound boards with lights visible to any audience member.

Hubby and I are avid theater goers and love musical theater. We have also been to Radio City Music Hall in NYC, the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles and the Performing Arts Center in Ft. Lauderdale. The sound boards are not visible to the audience in those theaters. Even our local Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ has their sound board behind the last row of the orchestra and is not visible to anyone in the mezzanine or the balcony.

I have a mind to email The Sharon with a link to this thread and see what they have to say about their set up with the distracting sound boards.
