Jujamcyn - Settlement with Feds re: Wheelchair Access

Jujam offered 9/2 Hades tkts with only mezzanine and balcony access, a bit difficult for wheelchair bound. The orch wasn't offered for sale. Someone wasn't thinking.

"Jujamcyn Theaters, which operates five theaters on Broadway, had been accused by federal prosecutors in Manhattan of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act"

Interesting that the Shubert Organization did this 18 years ago, and Nederlander seven years ago. And Jujamcyn did it only after a lawsuit?

Am just surprised this wasn't an issue back before the pandemic.

As for the 9/2 performance of Hadestown, they didn't sell any wheelchair/companion seats at all in orchestra?

No they didn't sell any because none of orch was available for sale. So wheelchair users wouldn't be able to get to balcony/mezz.
