A wonderfully entertaining production of “Finding Nemo Jr.” at the Northampton Academy of Music last week would have been even better if the audience could have heard all the performers and not just the leads. Without consistent sound, those who hadn’t seen the film “Finding Nemo” might have found it difficult to follow the story.

I understand that the Academy building underwent a major renovation. Now its sound system needs a major upgrade to match and enhance the quality of its shows.
