| Hardly any Broadway houses have stairs in the orchestra aisles, so of course people aren't falling on them. If there's a problem with the Lyric's stairs, it's probably more that people don't expect them to be there than a design problem. (Plus running around when they can't see and not looking where they're putting their feet, which, yes, blame the victim, unexpected stairs are rarely a problem if you see them coming.) And it's not Ambassador's or Harry Potter's doing: The Ford/Hilton/Foxwoods/Lyric had stairs in the orchestra before. |
