Therese Raquin/the torture effect

Posted by:	NewtonUK 11:59 am EDT 10/26/15

I loved the set of Therese Raquin, all else seemed ok - not much sexual energy, which is what the show is about. Torture? Not the production - but the Mezz seats starting with Row E. There is no leg room ZERO. I;m only 6 feet tall, but I can only sit in the mezz if I do a man spread. Otherwise my knees are jammed into the seat in front of me. But with the spread my neighbors are annoyed. Well - SAturday night I at least had an aisle seat in what they call the Mid Mezz - though their seating chart calls it, appropriately, Rear Mezz. Knees jammed against the seat in front of me. But on the aisle, i could turn to my left and cross my legs out into the aisle, and be vaguely comfortable. Except once the show started there was no way to untangle my legs until intermission, since to do so would have required kicking the woman in front of me in the head. I checked wth HM at intermission to see if there was any seat with leg room I could move to, there wasnt, so I headed home. Fair enough. But seats like this at Carnegie Hall are flagged as LIMITED LEGROOM, and sold at a 30-40% discount. Of course for ROundabout to do this, this would include maybe 400 seats.
