I think it's 'loving the decor to death'?

Edit: Nope, 'read for filth' is actually a thing:

So I guess husband doesn't like the venue?

Not a venue, but Old City Hall is pretty cool inside:

Is your husband a late 90’s drag queen? If so, AWESOME!

In my humble opinion, as a lifelong theater professional, the carpenter center which was originally a Loew’s movie palace designed in a Spanish and moorish theme, is the baddest ass theater in the area to enjoy a show in. Feels like you’re out in a courtyard under the stars.

Intermission time so clarifying that yes, reading for filth means he doesn't like the decor. He feels like he's in an Olive Garden. Wall and carpet don't work and the turquoise all over doesnt help all the various blues. It's like Roman and Morrocan themes trying to make it work. All his opinions and hastily put together while getting a drink and Reeses Pieces.

LOL, Richmonders love their Carpenter Theater and also “the Mosque” (Altria Theater). It’s funny, growing up, I always thought Carpenter was the more attractive one.

Wait until you hear Bo Burnham's opinions of the Altria stage decor.

If it’s not his cup of tea there are plenty of top notch sterile auditoriums in the county high schools.

His choices are… something? Does he also think that Drag Race is better as 45 minute episodes and watches Real Friends of WeHo?
