Louisville Palace Customers Reviews
Chelsea was awesome. The drunks in front row? Not so much.
Terrace Theater does a great job. With this event, there were two women on the very left side of the front row, and one man on the very left end of the second that were mind-numbingly loud, obnoxious and intolerably gross to sit near.
First, the smell. It's like the ugliest possible breath of someone who lives exclusively on alcoholic beverages, except for tonight, they also ate a pastrami sandwich with a side of garlic. I mean, so bad, it could exterminate roaches and mice. But I can't hold that against the theater staff, because they couldn't smell it from their standing locations. (Then again, I don't *know* that they couldn't... it was pretty strong, after all!)
Worst, though, was the loudness. The two women, brunette and blonde, need to seek treatment. Blonde kept throwing her hands up in the air and twinkling her fingers like she was a Molly Shannon character, and regularly let out louder-than-everyone-else laughs reminiscent of Edna Krabappel of The Simpsons. Now laughing is great, but her reactions seemed to be on a 5-second delay. It's as if the entire act was reaching her brain 5 seconds after the rest of us. So we'd all be listening to the next line of Chelsea's act, when she's suddenly hear the previous joke and interrupt with a loud, cackling "HAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
She'd also regularly yell out return comments to Chelsea, as if this were an audience participation event. Her darker-haired companion often required interpretation of Chelsea's act, requesting many times, in a super slurred voice, "whhaat dwid she say??" She wasn't so bad, except for that I'm pretty sure she is our Pastrami + Vodka lover.
Finally, the man. He was there with his female companion, who sat to my left. She made an effort - a totally inadequate effort - to shut him up. But he kept on, having random conversation with her, using a deep / loud / incomprehensibly slurring voice. That's bad. But you know what's worse? Seeing a grown man kick his legs up and down while simultaneously slamming his feet on the floor just like an excited toddler.
Yes. That's what he did almost every time a joke landed. And no, his behavior wasn't impaired in any way other than being stinking drunk. My favorite part came toward the end, when he suddenly exclaimed to his girlfriend, "what did I miss while I was sleeping??!!?" -- He'd been "asleep" maybe 3 minutes, since that was the last time we'd heard him rambling about something.
The end of the evening meant a standing ovation. But that wouldn't be enough for our blonde audience neighbor, who required a comeback to overshadow our obnoxious man. When it came time for everyone to stand up (no 5-second delay for this!), she threw herself forward, BREAKING her seat lose from the floor brackets, then she lost her balance and fell back in her chair, and slid right into us.
We made sure she was ok. I mean, she's obviously not ok in general. But she wasn't injured.
Anyway, yeah. Chelsea was awesome.
