Positive usher shout-out: Jessica from Maybe Happy Ending

Ushers at Broadway shows have a hard job, and a lot of them can be pretty curt and no-nonsense. Which makes sense--they have to turn over a zillion patrons with varying degrees of theater knowledge/etiquette in antiquated buildings.

So it was a treat to run into one who is so friendly and invested in audiences having a positive experience. I saw Maybe Happing Ending solo today, and I mentioned how much I loved the stained glass at the Belasco to the usher who directed me toward my seat. In between directing other people, she kept popping back to chat and talk about the history of the theater, including the restoration and how Rocky Horror almost destroyed a bunch of the Tiffany fixtures.

She was also really proactive with getting short people booster seats, and was a HAWK stopping people on their phones. I'll write the theater to express gratitude. Her work made seeing a great show even more special. Thanks Jessica!
