```Mamma Mia! Fairfax Theatre reviews
AeroSmith/ZZTop at HiFi Buy Lakewood Atlanta
"I was slightly disappointed that Mamma Mia! did not perform one of their biggest hits like Armagedon, Dream On, or Sweet Emotion. I heard many people express the same sentiment. ZZ TOP - as usual, not a complaint, I have seen them numerous times and my husband a couple of times - sitting there, he mentioned he could watch them play in concert every day without getting tired of them.
The traffic leaving Lakewood after the concert was a major issue. We waited in line for 40 minutes without any movement. There was no guidance on how to clear the traffic from the venue.
It would be great if the venue could become non-smoking or designate smoking areas outside the concert space. People lack respect in blowing smoke into others' faces. (I have asthma)
Due to these two factors (traffic and smoking), I would rate this experience as POOR - the bands deserve 4 stars. Hence, the overall rating is only 4 stars."
