I really like the mezzanine at The Friedman. I sat in Row D for
Good People and the dead last row for
Mauritius and never felt disconnected from the action on stage at all. I've seen pretty much every show they've produced since it reopened and can say I've had better experiences sitting in the mezzanine than in the rear orchestra, which can seem somewhat far.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
