| According to the other board, the front of the dress circle is being extended further (i.e., towards the stage) about 5-6 rows from where it was before, which is a welcome surprise. If you can find a new seating chart, you will see that the dress circle now actually extends in front of the dress circle boxes, which is interesting, but it should give some idea of how much it has changed (while also raising new questions...). What is tricky is that the seating chart does not tell how many seats are in each row, although it looks like the center dress circle is wider than it was before and the side sections are narrower. | |

| As extending the back wall. Row a-h looking exactly the same in both charts. It’s only k-m that looks new and smaller like a back wall breakout. But I’m only basing that on the chart and not any other facts. Moving the mezz forward would most likely mean dropping it lower and reducing rear orch seats which didn’t seem to happen. | |

| Can they extend the back wall? I was looking at the front of the dress circle compared to the boxes. In the old one the boxes were all in front of the dress circle, but in the new plan the dress circle extends out to meet them. I guess we will find out soon -- and hopefully the changes are all for the better! The Lyric is a theater that I have always wanted to like but have never quite warmed to. | |

| "The Lyric has 1,900 seats, making it the second-largest theater on Broadway. Producers complain that shows often get swallowed up in its vastness. To make the theater more intimate for “Harry Potter,” 400 seats will be removed and the back wall of the auditorium will be moved closer to the stage." | |
