| My source is theater critic Joe Dziemianowicz, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS | May 15, 2018 | Here are excerpts: Producers spent $33 million to renovate the Lyric Theatre…and the house is an accident waiting to happen…The design of the aisles in the theater has caused a number of audience members to either trip or fall, leading to scrapes, bruises and, worse, several busted bones. A longtime theater journalist told the Daily News: "I tripped on one of those narrow, shallow steps in the aisle and fell forward. "I caught myself before my head hit the ground, but I scraped my knee and my ankle," the reporter added. "You don't expect little steps like that in the middle of a theater." Joe Dziemianowicz himself: Full disclosure: This reporter also tripped and nearly face-planted while hustling to the rest room at intermission. That aisle could use some therapy of its own. One possible remedy could be adding lighting to indicate the stealthy steps. Wall Street Journal critic Terry Teachout after he fell: "Then I dusted myself off and took a closer look at the steps, which appeared to me to be both too shallow and poorly lit," Teachout said. Veteran reviewer John Simon was hospitalized for three weeks. "I started up the center aisle," he said. "I tripped. I fell backward and broke three ribs." John Rogers, general counsel for the Ambassador Theatre Group, which owns the Lyric, confirmed hearing reports of "one or two falls." Rogers had no comment when asked if changes have been made or are planned to fix the problem. |
