Is this possible?
Went to lunch today with a group of woman. I had mentioned to the ladies that I had seen crystal Gayle at the Sharon and enjoyed the show well one of the women had asked me if they made an announcement prior to the show on using the restrooms. I told her No what did she mean? She told me that she recently went to a show and when she got up to use the restroom, the usher would not allow her back into the theater. I never heard of this so am just throwing out there to see if anyone has experienced this?? She said the usher said it would be disturbing to the others trying to enjoy the show? Makes no sense to me (especially seniors as they do need restrooms). Has anyone heard this before?

It happened at Million Dollar Quartet. The usher said it was the performers who requested no one leave. He said if you did you would have to finish watching the show on a big screen TV downstairs. It was a great show but I think it is alot to expect of a crowd of senior citizens. I will say this though I didn't want to miss one minute of that show. It was worth having to cross my legs for the last half hour.

I have been to a LOT of concerts, in all size venues in my life and I have NEVER heard of this policy ... anywhere. Out of courtesy, I have / do waited between songs to retake my seat,
The "usher" would have to physically restrain me from going back to my seat. |

We sat in the first row of the mezzanine and I noticed that people only came back in during applause after a number. Very nice to not be disturbed during the performance!

I like waiting until a break before going back in; but to be banned once you leave? Not so much.

Such practice, of not allowing re-admittance while a show, play, or concert is in progress, is standard procedure in finer venues across the country. It sounds like The Sharon may be adopting this practice for certain performances.

Request of performers
We went to see the Million Dollar Quartet and the "no return" was the policy. We were told that it was at the request of the performers and it was NOT a policy of the Sharon. If it is happening at other performances, then we were not given correct information.

I would suggest that it is a stretch to term a venue that books a B- Country act like Crystal Gayle one of the "finer venues across the country" .... considering that she regularly plays at the Orange Blossom Opry in metropolitan Weirsdale. That place is your basic dump.
