| No, the audience revolves around the stage. It's the same effect that was used at the beginning of the London production of "Cats" when it was at the New London/Gillian Lynne. From an audience member at the first preview: THE REVOLVE A while ago, tickets in the first few rows said "You will be moved in more ways than one" which left people suspecting it referred to a massive revolve. Anyone in the first 7 rows were warned as they entered the theatre that their seats would be moving at the beginning of act 2 and so we had to be back in our seats before the end of our interval or we wouldn't be able to get back to them basically. Act 2 begins and I have a feeling of excitement and nervousness like I'm about to experience a massive drop on a rollercoaster (Yes, I did just compare it to that). As the cast around the stage move on their revolve, so do we. The first 7 rows moves with the stage very slowly (You won't need to wear a seatbelt) until eventually we are at the back of the stage looking out on to the rest of the audience. There is no restriction on this view though as the cast play to every side of the theatre which takes on a new life in the round and creates more intimacy for everyone in the theatre, no matter where you're sat. We stay behind the stage for around 15 minutes before slowly making our way back. A very special experience which added to the charm of the show - if you can get seats in this section, I would highly recommend it. |
