In the distant past, only the richest and most well heeled people sat in the box seats. In other cases, these troublesome seats, like the boxes, were built not for seeing the action on the stage, but for people watching. Poor sight lines are typically caused by architectural elements such as the angle of the seating to the stage, or a beam or wall that are part of the building’s design and engineering. However, older, historic theaters such as La Scala in Milan often have a handful of seats that, surprisingly, don't allow you to see the stage. Seats with obstructed views are uncommon in modern, state of the art theaters such as the National Theatre in London or the Opera Bastille in Paris. The last thing you want is a theater ticket for a seat that doesn't allow you to see the stage. It is one of the very few new Broadway shows that actually looks and sounds like the world of today.” - Toronto Starįor more information about IF/THEN, please visit >The Best Seat in the Opera House The Best Seat in the Opera House It is a zesty, savvy and ambitious original.” – Chicago Tribune Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s beautiful score hits an especially sweet spot, keeping the audience in its pocket.
