When looking at City Center Encores tickets, I noticed in the very back row there are "loose seats" which obviously would be just chairs I assume, but there are a lot of them. Has anyone ever sat in that row? If so can you offer info on comfort and is there more or less room than a regular row?
They're armchairs. I sat in one a couple years ago for an Encores show and found them perfectly comfortable.
"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."

I sat in them for "1776." Comfortable enough, and sightlines weren't really a problem (it's the back row of City Center, so you're hovering over the proceedings). I didn't feel like I was missing anything out of the experience!
