Opening Night Performance Meant To Show Importance Of Theatre In Vancouver Is “Epic Fail”

The Playhouse has 668 seats. On opening night, 343 tickets were spoken for. Of those, 256 were comps. “That was an epic fail,” John Cassini says. “To come out … and see those empty seats, I’ve got to say, in the first couple of minutes of the show, I think we were all, as actors, a little shocked.”
