Michelle Van Parys ★★★★ · 8 months ago“Came to see New Kids on The Block, the venue was terrific with an intimate feeling. There didn’t seem to be a bad viewing spot and the overall atmosphere was amazing!! Loved this venue, on that note there were a couple of things that could be improved. The down side is the seats are incredibly close and small, the cost of drinks and snacks is outrageous. I u”
