AD is now a joke.  Sony has ruined the chain.

I go to the Lower Manhattan one.  Very small theaters, overpriced food.  I do enjoy the preshows.

The major cabaret theatre in Pittsburgh has phone ordering for drinks/food during the shows. I assume it's just an inevitability at any venue of the sort now; Yitzhak even comments on it during the preshow of Hedwig.
