I saw Bombay Dreams there and thought that the theatre was beautiful. I have a thing for Indian motifs.

The Lyceum. I love the classic decor and I'm convinced it's haunted by the spirits of all those actors whose portraits are hanging along the stairways.

The Ford Center is gorgeous.

I love all the ones that aren't dumps with poor leg room.

I really loved the Virginia Theatre...The decoration inside was beautiful and the seating was done quite well I thought... I loved being there because it was big but not horribly cavernous like the Gershwin or the Minskoff.

Am I right that the Virginia Theatre seems to have some kind of Southwestern or Mexican motif on the inside and outside?

The Circle in the Square is one of my favorites. No matter where I sat for Rocky Horror Show or Metamorphoses I had a great seat. I like the Imperial also for Broadway shows. For off-Broadway the Little Shubert (formerly housing Fame) is very very nice. Great sightlines and comfortable seats.
There are some people in the world who say that writing stories, or composing music or dancing sparkly dances is easy for them. Nothing interferes with their ability to create. While I celebrate their creative freedom, a little part of me just wants to punch those motherf*ckers in the teeth...[tos]

In my opinion, the gershwin is way too big. In the mezzm it feels like you are very far from the action. The seats and leg room are nice though.

Has anyone been to the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA? It used to be a Shriner Movie Palace. It was later renovated and turned into a theatre. The ceiling is covered in stars. It really looks like you are in an outside amphitheatre in the middle east. Again with the Indian motifs. I love them.

Ugh, I was so uncomfortable at the Marquis, thank god the guy next to me who was on the aisle left, I sat sideways the whole second act to stretch my legs a little. It was very cramped for me.

In some respects HELL YES!!! in others not at all, I love being tall but it sucks when theaters have no leg room lol

Yes, being tall has its perks. Not being able to fit into seats is not one of them.
A bit OT: I was flying overnight from Hartsfield International in Atlanta to London-Gatwick International in, well, London. Of course, my seat was in the middle of two girls who were quite gifted in the lower region. My butt may not be that big, but I need a little bit of room. On top of that, the pest in front of me felt the need to recline his seat. 10 hours of this, whilst I am trying my hardest to get some rest, not a good thing. It is most definitely the most uncomfortable thing I have ever been through in my life. London was nice though. Ooh! I'm gonna segue this back into the topic! London was very nice. I saw 5 musicals in 5 very different theatres. My favorite was the Apollo-Victoria, where I witnessed Bombay Dreams.
How was that for a mouthful.

Argh, plan rides are awful! especially those who love to recline in front of you, argh i could kill them! forget about putting your tray down, because your legs are too long so the tray opens below where your knees bend! i could go on forever lol
