Small warning about "Curious Incident" seating:

My girlfriend and I were in rear mezz D on the house left side. While this is a fine location to see the entire stage, I would warn ticket buyers that you can hear every single light cue being called through the board op's headset. The lightboard operator has a position in the rear of the mezz on the house left side, and is clearly not using any sort of closed-muff or baffled headset...which seems to be turned up to 11.

We moved to empty seats on the other side of the mezz for act 2, and could not hear anything. I'd suggest avoiding the house left side of the mezzanine altogether. Thanks!

Oh crap. Note to self: finish coffee, then post. UGH.

Often when I'm in the mezz of a theater, I could hear the ushers loudly talking and hanging out by the mezz concessions.

Along these lines, my wife and I saw The Flick at Barrow Street Theatre on July 3, and we loved it. However... we were seated on the last row of the orchestra in the two seats at the house-right-most side. The view was fine, but our location meant we were next to the door to the lobby. As you may know, the show's silences are a major part of the experience. Unfortunately, for the first 30 minutes or so of the show, we found ourselves repeatedly taken out of the experience by recurring bursts of very loud talking, which seemed to come from just beyond the lobby doorway. At least it went away after a bit.
