We went to see Mughal-e-azam an indian broadway production. The show was great. Our seats were in SectionG row B. First of all they dont tell u that u are going to be in the balcony on the 5th floor …..once u get there u have to go down these steep steps all the way to the first row ……with minimal railing and support …..i am surprised people have not fallen and had fatal injuries …..u better not trip …..this is not for older folks for sure ….:its hard to navigate for the younger ones too …..i call it down right dangerous and treacherous. Row B seats are so narrow that my knees hit the wall and I am 5’5” ….the whole time i was cramped and uncomfortable and hated every minute of it. This is after paying over $100 for those horrible seats …..when you stood up the railing came to your thighs so u better not lean or else down you go 20 ft into some dark alley …..absolutely atrocious.

Second, when it’s time to go in after a break, they have a “yeller” a person that goes around and in a very “not comforting tone” yells that it’s time to go back in. They have loud speakers all over the building, like in modern/civilized countries they have an announcement that is very calm and pleasant.
Also, when there is a break, the alcohol line is extremely long, like everyone is an alcoholic that needs a drink…
In a case of emergency this place would fail big, there is no organization, nothing.
I feel like this place could be so much better and be on the same standards as global theaters but for some reason progression stopped here in the 1970’s… I’m guessing the management is fairly old, and need to give way to the younger generation to run this place.
It’s almost 2022 people, up...
