The Hal Prince "Candide" redid the Broadway to be an in the round environmental seating. One of the show's financial problems was they couldn't keep enough seats to meet their weekly nut.

I also think "Dude" used a similar idea in the Broadway as well as "Via Galactica" in the Uris/Gershwin.

The Imperial had renovations to accommodate the set for Billy Elliot, but the seating remained the same.

If someone would be so kind as to PM me telling me the special moment in the show that needs the central aisle, it would be GREATLY appreciated no one wants to spoil it, but I am dying to know. Thanks.

Really looking forward to seeing this on April 6th. Tickets were high but the location was worth it.

It isn't that big a project to reconfigure a few rows of seating to accommodate a centre aisle. Also most theatres can accommodate a stage floor that will allow for lifts. It isn't a huge structure like the house in Billy Elliot or the car in Chitty so shouldn't require additional depth.
