Kind Ushers

I recently took my 85 year old mother to "Sweet Charity." She's healthy, but still...
At intermission, there was the usual stampede for the bathrooms, and the ladies' was downstairs. As I tried to help her fight the crowds, I felt an arm grab me; there was an usher, who said "not all the way downstairs for her" and led us to a private bath at the back of the orchestra. I had never known about this, but it was a godsend! A minor act of kindness made all the difference to us that day!

That is very kind. There are several theatres, I believe, that have specific restrooms for older/disabled patrons, and the Hirschfeld is probably one of them.

Wouldn't you think I would know this, having gone to Broadway since I was 10? Sometimes, I think I am SOOOOO Dumb! I will check this in the future when I arrive at a theater with her.
