This
was
a
small,
local
Long
Island
theater.
My
friends
and
I
went
to
watch
the
Beauty
and
the
Beast
production.
It
was
pretty
awesome.
Hana
Culbreath
was
a
breath
of
fresh
air
and
really
did
justice
to
Belle's
character.
But
my
favorite
of
the
bunch
would
have
to
be
Elliott
Litherland
as
Gaston.
He
was
the
unanimous
favorite.
The
smaller
theater
made
for
a
more
intimate
setting
which
was
great.
Although
there
were
a
lot
of
positives
that
came
from
the
performance,
I
would
say
that
was
dampened
and
truly
overshadowed
by
the
rude
and
unprofessional
ushers
that
were
situated
by
me.
We
were
seated
in
the
orchestra,
section
K
seats
14-18.
I
get
it,
the
ushers
do
have
a
job
to
perform.
But
the
ushers
today
(11/27/2022
for
the
2PM
show)
were
downright
disrespectful.
Several
people
were
asked
to
turn
their
phones
off
though
ours
were
already
on
silent.
The
three
ushers
(a
young
man
and
2
old
women)
circled
that
one
side
of
the
theater
in
the
last
2
sections
and
POLICED
the
few
that
they
saw
on
their
celphones.
Now
there
is
absolutely
nothing
wrong
with
policing
and
enforcing
celphone
usage
during
a
show
however
my
issue
with
them
is
that
their
conversations
were
so
loud
and
right
over
me
that
they
basically
drowned
the
music
that
was
playing.
One
woman
with
the
bob
clapped
obnoxiously
loud
as
though
to
stimulate
a
much
louder
applaud
for
the
cast.
She
did
this
multiple
times.
We,
as
patrons,
came
to
watch
the
performance
and
not
to
be
hovered
over
by
ushers
who
acted
no
less
than
vultures.
And
if
you
were
going
to
be
fair
to
everyone,
they
should
have
checked
a
little
better
because
the
people
in
the
middle
of
the
aisle
took
videos
of
the
performance.
Argyle
Theater,
you
guys
have
to
do
a
little
better
when
it
comes
to
your
staff.
Our
experience
at
this
particular
show
was
marred
by
the
constant
interruption
of
your
unprofessional
ushers.
As
much
as
we
would
like
to
see
other
productions,
this
may
very
well
be
one
of
the
last
we
see
at
this
theater.
