Immersive seating at Moulin Rouge!

It sounds like Boston tryout of Moulin Rouge! will be doing immersive dinner theater style seating ala The Kit Kat Klub for Cabaret and parts of orchestra area at the Imperial during the run of The Great Comet.

Presenting the Sparkling Diamond Seats

Where does it say you’ll miss some of the action? The only thing close to that I can find in that info is “scenic obstruction,” which is referring to audience members who stand up to leave in the middle of the show.

“Where does it say you’ll miss some of the action? The only thing close to that I can find in that info is “scenic obstruction,” which is referring to audience members who stand up to leave in the middle of the show.”

My understanding of reading that is that the scenic obstruction is referring rather to your path for leaving. You can’t leave the seat because there will be a set piece obstructing your path for most of the show.

Which leads me to my understanding of this one:

I guess no standing ovation allowed for those seated in this special area?"

Meaning that yes, you can give a standing ovation if you are so inclined. I don’t read that as you have to stay seated, just that you can’t try to leave during bows like many people do nowadays to beat traffic or the crowd.

You know on the Tonys, the people that sit in between the stage and the passerelle, that's what this sounds like, but in two separate contained areas on each side of the stage. It would definitely be a limited and extreme view, but I guess some people like sitting where the action is.

The simple reason why you can't leave during the curtain call/bows if you're seated in the special area between the pasarelle and the stage is simply: BECAUSE ITS DISRESPECTFUL AND DISTRACTING TO THE ACTORS TAKING THEIR BOWS LESS THAN 10 FEET FROM YOU!

You are literally in front of them. Anyone trying to bolt out of that area while the actors are taking their bows can't be missed. You are literally sitting less than 10 feet from the actors plus its obvious the pasarelle will be used for the curtain call/blows as well therefore it would be even MORE distracting if anyone is trying to bolt outta that area during all this.

Regular seats -- do as you please. Sitting in the special area up front -- hunker down and wait till the house lights come up to get out.

Really hope this doesn't end up at the Hudson if/when it transfers to Broadway. They're the same management/ownership company. And I'm guessing Head Over Heels won't be there in the Spring...

Thank You for your input. Never knew about that App

So, if you find a hotel in your price range, if it's near the subway line, you'll have little problem getting around. (Also, get yourself an app - like moovit - that helps you navigate.)"

Dramamama, as a Bostonian, I'm curious - which of the lines do you feel to be useless? (The description cracked me up, just wondering).

Considered doing the immersive seating for our group, but since it is our sole time going, we felt we'd be better off staying with our original seats in the mezz instead to get the full picture view. If they continue with the immersive seating once they transfer to Broadway (and, of course, if we enjoy the show), we'd purchase those seats then.

I'm guessing the Silver Line, which is more like a bus?

Pretty useless unless you're traveling to and from the airport.
