Joy Theater — Attraction in New Orleans

You may not believe this (my dad didn't), but it is worth telling. I’m really observant, and I’ve encountered something like this before.

I was working with my dad here. We were working for a company, not for this place, which was closed during the time. Anyway, I went to the bathroom, and became suspicious of the urinals, then out. While setting up chairs, I overheard people (I didn’t know them), noticed a few signs, and I figured out that there were (are?) HIDDEN CAMERAS in the bathroom. There are sensors(?) on the urinals, but they didn’t work. I had to press a button. I don’t know if this is normal, but I saw a red light blink once behind the sensor. After I took a piss, I went out. A minute after, I heard people laughing.

“That’s so gross!”

“Oh my god.”

I was suspicious, so I went back to the urinal, I showed my middle finger. When I came out, a guy was staring at me on the stage (there were more than five people). When I went onto the stage, I heard the female say, “I won’t say anything.” I looked at her. She looked at me. She looked a little angry. No one really looked at me, though, when I looked at them.

A minute after, I heard a description of my penis. That’s when I really knew, and they knew it.

I don’t want to write 10 paragraphs about all of the other details. I don't have any evidence, so whatever. I would have sued them if I knew how to, and if I wasn’t leaving to a different state in an hour. If I’m wrong, then I won't argue if someone calls...

I'd give it 5, except for one thing: if goure seated in the balcony, they like using the house lights as a flash point during the performances. And when on the balcony, you are seated at eye level with those two big squares of lights that are the house lights. Omg are they blindingly bright. Each flash blinds you and if you're sensitive to lights or might be or don't know that you are, you will know about 2 minutes into the performance.

Either wear a baseball cap you can pull down low to block them or be prepared to spend the entire performance with your hands over your brow blocking the lights.

Seriously, manager of the theater, those lights are terrible for the balcony people. We weren't the only ones having trouble with them.

Otherwise, the facility is top notch. Clean, seats are comfortable, although there isn't much leg room. Balcony views are all excellent since it's such a small venue. Plus the balcony has its own bar, and each floor has its own restroom, so there weren't lines for the restroom.

It's a neat theater. I'd definitely be excited to go back, but I'm definitely bringing a baseball cap the next...

My favorite theater style venue in New Orleans! It's so well run and organized. You can get tickets at the box office in advance, online, or on the day of the show. I've seen 2 VIP shows here, and both were phenomenal experiences. They emailed specific details ahead, then the friendly staff was there to greet us with lanyards & merch. We got an hour pre-show, plus a private meet & greet with the artists. I love how they have a bar in the lobby, 1 on the bottom floor and on the balcony. Bartenders are friendly and they offer a few signature drinks at reasonable prices. The seating options here are perfect. Other venues in the city are either standing room only or seating only. The Joy has both a spacious balcony and a nice size standing section on the 1st floor. If you buy balcony seats you also can go back & forth to the 1st floor which is ideal. I like how they offer multiple ticket prices & options like GA, upper balcony, lower balcony, or VIP. The venue is very safe and clean too. They have merch from both the bands and the theater itself available at most shows. I've had a great experience at every time here! Highly...
