Oh hell no. The steps are fine. Learn to walk."

Sounds like you just got an A+ in walking 101! Big congrats from the bottom of my heart.

I have never had a problem walking through this theater and I have sat I the orchestra, dress circle and next to the last row in the balcony. I always pay attention when I am navigating steps anywhere I go. And I have even tripped.

They weren't paying attention and instead of admitting it are looking to blame someone else.

The time you met me in the theater was the performance that the 93year man fell. He was also walking up the stairs during the show when there was no lights on and he tripped over his coat. But I have overall seen many people trip over the orchestra main and side aisle steps.

Wait,didn't all these bodies strewn about going up the aisles actually have to go down the aisle first? Who goes down steps and not pay attention to whether they are shallow or not?

Someone on All That Chat is saying that the production intended the stairs to be uneven and evoke a Harry Potter-esque atmosphere. But I'm skeptical that NYC would allow its building codes to be so blatantly violated like that. 

For those who have been down this aisle, what did it look like? Was it irregular or crooked or anything?

It was fine. If there was anything irregular then it wasn't enough for me, a klutz, to notice. The people who supposedly keep tripping need to pay more attention. I mean, when I trip I blame myself for not watching where I'm going, not the place I'm at for having steps. I feel bad for the guy and I'm glad he seems to be recovering well, but I don't think the theater is responsible for people walking in the dark with their coat strewn about. 

 

For what it's worth, if anyone tripped at my performance I didn't see them, so that's good.
