Mamma Mia! Sarasota Theatre reviews
"I stayed on line from 6:30 pm for more than an hour and still missed the first 5 min of the show before the theater was filled. Show started before the theater was filled. People were still coming in and blocking our view until 7:45 pm, 10 min after the show time of 7:30 pm. We spent a good dollar, missed the opening of the show, and had to move people out of our seats. This is not right. The line went from 6th ave up 51st street and wrapped around onto 5th ave. The theater should open more than one door. Would like to hear back from Mamma Mia! or Ticketmaster."
