I was in the second row of the orchestra, which was great. It felt intimate. <br /><br />I don't know what it would be like farther back in the orchestra or from the mezzanine but I think Brief Encounter works well in a large theatre. It didn't seem at all lost or swallowed up.<br /><br />The only thing about Studio 54 is that I've found the sightlines can be bad if you're too far over to the side, so I try to avoid the far left or the far right.<br /><br />Hope you get to see it! This and La Bete were by far my favorites of the six shows I saw on my trip to New York.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-89411086168215088352010-11-18T09:32:01.300-05:002010-11-18T09:32:01.300-05:00Thanks, Sarah!
