This is a 3-minute walk from hotel. Very safe, with clearly-marked crosswalks and well-lit sidewalks.

This was our first visit to the auditorium so we showed up early. We ended up waiting out in the rain and cold because they do not open the doors very early before the performance. Once inside, it was congested and seemingly unorganized. If I were to attend another performance at the auditorium, I would show up a lot closer to the starting time.
