Joey, BOUNCE will have a one night only benifit concert in NYC sometime this spring. That and the release of the OCR will probably be the end of it except for University/Community productions.

Mistress, is the "Theatre's seating arrangement" a problem for people on wheels?

Posted: 3/5/04 at 1:33am

Yeah, its not the most wheelchair friendly theatre. Im pretty able bodied and have a relatively small chair so its doable but I cant imagine some of my friends with power chairs getting around. And I called them earlier today and theyre not offering a wheelchair discount which is generally pretty standard. If I didnt really wanna see this show, I wouldnt pay them the $90 bucks for me struggle to get around.

Thats disgraceful. Anyone for a letter flooding?

Posted: 3/6/04 at 12:11am

Woah, im not trying to start any kind of problem lol Ive done my share of activism but I dont know what theyd do to make the place better either except have less tables. Though it would be nice if they offered a wheelchair discount like pretty much every other theatre on broadway.

That wheelchair thing is awful! We should write in! If no one else is then I will! That's terrible. It's discrimination of the lowest form!

Of all the show this season I'm most excited about Assassins! Neil Patrick Harris is a favorite of mine. He is wonderful in the Sweeney Todd DVD. If anyone hasn't seen it I recommend it highly! I can't believe it is only going to run for about a month! They better extended it! It's too good not to have an open run. And I'm upset that they are still using Cabaret's table set up. That, to me, was FOR Cabaret. It doesn't make sense to do it for any other show, but I guess it's cheeper to just leave it how it is instead of turn it into a full theatre. But, that's show biz!

Mistress, my parents are in wheelchairs so I've always been very sensitive to that issue...they should be able to seat you in the 100s with no problem- they have a few tables that they try to sell to people in chairs. I've seen many power chairs there before- once a group outing, and things were fine. There's just a tiny step, but the ushers are very accomodating. I think it's terrible there's no discount though...but remember, this Is Roundabout, not exactly the most sensitive of theatre companies.

Posted: 3/6/04 at 1:12am

Well, unfortunately for some people a step is a step no matter how tiny it is. Like I said, I could get around alright, but the setup definitely kept me from going back over and over. And maybe I went on someone's bad day, but no one helped me with the step, but I could still do it. Im not trying to make this like an 'issue' here lol ya know, it was just sortve an off handed comment that the setup aint the best.

i do, i do, i do! :-P

i saw the show in Chicago, and it was G-R-E-A-T.

the show then went to washington dc, went okay, then the producers reviewed it after some changes had been made, etc.

and gosh-darnit, they said it wasn't good enough for NYC...

rats.

Oh no, I wasn't trying to make it a big deal, I do understand. I'm pretty disappointed they didn't comply more with the ADA since it was renovated in late 1998. Updated On: 3/6/04 at 05:12 PM

Posted: 3/6/04 at 5:26pm

yeah, itd be nice if someone ever decided to enforce the ADA.
