A broken elevator kept the Barbie-loving senator who uses a wheelchair from seeing the show.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth didn't want to out the theater by name since it's in the community where her children live. | Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesSen. Tammy Duckworth , a former Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot who lost her legs in combat, issued a statement this week on the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
As she does wherever she goes, Duckworth checked to make sure the theater was wheelchair accessible. It was. She and her daughters and friends purchased the tickets upon arrival only to learn that the theater’s elevator was broken. There was no way for Duckworth to get to the show. “I missed out on an experience with my girls,” Duckworth said. “I’m pretty tough about these things. But this one really was a little bit of a stab to my soul.”
