| I’m cruising around a site called seatgeek to which I was directed from the INTO THE WOODS site to buy tickets for INTO THE WOODS. I think I would like to bring my companion in and put her wheelchair into an empty-chair place. I cannot tell if that’s do-able. If not, I could fold up the wheelchair and help her get into a regular seat. HOWEVER... The site lists wheelchair accessible seats as well as aisle transfer seats. Plus there are seats for the companion. What do these terms mean? Aisle transfer? Wheelchair accessible? I found out that there aren’t steps into the theatre or for getting around in the orchestra, so that’s good. I’m just not sure what these terms mean. I can’t find a phone-line for the theatre. When I stopped by the theatre Saturday, nobody was in the box office. They were in the load-in process. |

| There is a nice explanation here. Into the Woods is not in a Nederlander theater, but I think the principles would be similar. | |

| Transfer seats usually can lift the armrest to make it easier to transfer from a wheel chair to the seat. Wheelchair accessible seating usually means the seat can be removed so a wheel chair can take its straight place. Telecharge has a great and helpful accessibility phone number and I’d hope SeatGeek does too. |

| Jujamcyn has a good website with a phone number and email address for accessible issues. Hope this helps. I recently discovered this after I broke my hip. Luckily, I never did end up needing accessible seating. | |

| At the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, aisle transfer seats are hinged so that the entire armrest at the aisle swings into the aisle allowing easy access for transferring from the wheelchair to the theatre seat. Once the patron is in the theater seat, the armrest section swings back and the wheelchair is stored in the back of the theatre. When the show is over, the ushers return the wheelchair and assist in transferring the patron out of the theatre seat and back to the wheelchair. | |
