No. And you'll get some interaction(possibly) from some of the actors.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I doubt they've changed anything from the first preview-but I'm just mentioning it's when I saw it in case they have-

But these tables seem so pathetic - they are ridiculously small, so expensive, so close to the stage and look so uncomfortable it just seems like the worst.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I had your same seats (Row B, Seats 1-3) when I saw the show last month -- and I couldn't see a thing. So, yes, there is a significant possibility that your view will be blocked, especially if anyone tall is seated at the cabaret table directly in front of you.

You should be fine. It's a low stage at the Longacre. And with your height, I don't think the patrons at the tables will block your view.

As far as the tables themselves, I think they add immeasurably to the experience at the show, given the club atmosphere they create and the interaction that occurs between the cast and those patrons. It wouldn't be quite the same experience without them.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

The problem is not with the tables, but with the chairs -- the chair seat height is higher than the seat height of row B. I don't think it's so bad for seats closer to the center of the row, but as you go to the far right- and left-hand sections, views become obscured by people seated at the tables. And unfortunately, the chairs are bolted to the floor, so slightly moving them is not an option.

They could really do without the tables. I like the show -- I saw it again from better seats -- but they don't "add immeasurably to the experience." There is exactly one dance number where performers jump onto the tables for about 5 seconds. They're not prominent enough to create a "club atmosphere," so they are really more of an annoyance than something essential to the performance.

Yeah, those cabaret seats look miserable. Both times I saw the show, at least 2 people sitting in the (respectively, far right and far left) cabaret tables/seats asked an usher/house manager if they could move at intermission, and sat in normal seats for the 2nd act.

6' 4" ?!

You'll see just fine. Quit yer whining.

You should be more worried about the people sitting behind you.

Did anyone else notice today on Telecharge that Cabaret tables are now regular price? I'm guessing it's not for all performances, just those they can't get rid of them at Premium Price - probably because people don't feel comfortable buying them online sight unseen.

Maybe they'll finally go back to what they did in London and move people from the balcony to those seats.
