Just noticed this in my "your upcoming performance" email from Roundabout. Guess they're trying to keep it fun for the longtime fans, but within reason for everyone else I guess? Hmmm... Wonder how many meetings they've had about this topic. haha

• Feel free to engage with the show genuinely: react, vocalize, laugh, or cry. Just please do not intentionally distract your neighbors or the artists on stage. 

• Show kindness towards each other. Don't judge others’ responses, and don’t presume you know someone else's story as they experience the show.

They also have to accommodate their older subscriber base, many of whom will likely be... put off by any kind of raucous audience behavior.

Their base likely opts to not see the show, IMO. It's not like they didn't see the movie back in their younger days.

Roundabout has used this exact language for the last three years. This is not revised for Rocky Horror: they have used this exact verbiage in their know-before-you-go emails for a while.

Does anyone have any feedback on where the best locations to sit are? Orchestra vs. Mezzanine, etc.

I was in the front row of the mezzanine and the visibility was great, although I am biased as that’s my preferred place to sit.

This website is also a helpful resource but all the photos are from past shows.

I can tell you to avoid house right. I was house right 4th row for first preview and most of the bedroom scenes and all of the “monitor” were obstructed. I am disappointed because I have tickets to a two other performances from this view and they were not sold as partial or obstructed. Though far from the only disappointing aspect of this take if I’m being honest.
