Disorganized and Disappointed
by J on 2022-07-27Meridian Arts Centre: Lyric Theatre - TorontoI am overall disappointed with the show and the venue chosen for the show. Kaitlyn’s fans are called “vinos”, meaning that most of her fans enjoy her wine and also drinking in general. For a sold out show, the amount of bartenders and preparation to support the amount of those who like to drink was not taken into account resulting in over a half hour wait in line in almost all cases. In addition, many fans in the crowd were quite angry with the fact that they could not drink wine in the venue. I feel like this was a huge misstep on Kaitlyns part, and I found it rude to her fans that throughout the show she was drinking and bragging about drinking to a crowd that could not drink during the show. It made me feel as though I was a loser in the audience while I got to watch the “cool kids” drink on stage. It was not inclusive at all. In addition to the venue not having the capacity to support such a crowd, the show itself was unorganized and quite jarring to watch. Kaitlyn continuously cut off her guest(s) while they were talking (specifically the birds papaya) and did not adequately organize any content for the show. Often the guests on stage were left confused and not prepared for the segments of the show. It felt as though Kaitlyn and her team put this show together very last minute and did not care to create an inclusive and quality show for her “vinos”. I believe at the end of the day this was huge miss for Kaitlyn. As a long time fan I do not feel valued or thought of while planning this event.
