They're not looking at phones -- there's a real hazard

You’re missing the point about people falling at Harry potter

The people are falling because the production reconstructed the theater to make the aisle mis-shapen and more Potter-like, which resulted in steps that are not properly spaced, and almost force people to lose their balance. Many people have been injured, some with broken bones requiring hospitalizations. This is a flagrant disregard for the safety of the audience. If this occurred in a showcase house (99 seats), the Fire Dept would close the show down. This is outrageous. See how you feel with a couple of broken ribs (that result from a walk down the aisle to a seat in a theater.)

The aisle is not mis-shapen. It is a normal aisle and is no smaller than aisles in other Broadway houses.

I sat in the dress circle and didn't see any evidence at all that the stairs are in some way dangerously constructed. If anything, there was a bit more navigating room, which I assume was added to accommodate the at-your-seat service of drinks and snacks. I am always amazed that more people don't fall in some of the Broadway theaters with steep mezzanines and balconies and no railings.
