When you’re at work and only have a minute to look at the boards and comment on a thread, I look at the topic and respond. Lots of questions asked on here could be done the same way. Is everyone else told this? Treated this way? Maybe you should rethink your answers.

I couldn't care less about what you do, but I'm still confused. Exactly how did you find this thread? The last post before yours is from 2013. Understandably, everyone assumes you had to do a search to find it, in which time you could have easily googled "August Wilson Theatre seating chart," which would have answered your question.

I don't understand why it's so difficult for some people to simply not read threads in which they have no interest.

I don’t understand-I posted a wondering on here....how does that show a non-interest....

I believe you misunderstood my comment. I was referring to the people who attacked you for "reviving an old thread", as if that's a crime. If the thread is of no interest to them, I don't see why they can't just skip it.

At the Academy in Philly you have the parquet, parquet circle, balcony, family circle and the amphitheater.

So confusing the first time I went.

Yes, its pointed out that to many that the question they post could have easily been answered by a google search.  Which would take the same time for one as it does to actually post the question.

You need to re-think your constant over reaction.  I love how you tell others to leave you alone by not leaving their comments alone.  No one attacked you.   (And you aren't the one that revived the thread)

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Is the Mezzanine the Balcony? The answer is it depends. Most Broadway Theatres built before 1920 (and amplification) have 3 levels – Orchestra, Mezz, and Balcony. After 1920, most theatres were built with 2 levels, Orchestra and Mezzanine, as sight lines are typically better than those theatres with Balconies. In the Mezz level, there typically is a cross aisle dividing the 4-5 row Front Mezzanine and the remaining number of rows Rear Mezzanine. If you purchase at Mezzanine ticket, you are on the second level of that theatre. If you purchase a balcony ticket, you are on the third level. For what it’s worth, I prefer Front Mezz to Orchestra as it provides a better view of stage and choreography and you don’t have to worry about some big/tall person directly in front of you blocking your view of the stage. Balcony for me it too high up.

Theatrelyfe, you constantly have for the last month, get under peoples skins so they blow up. I’m starting to think you enjoy it, and your goal is to get into fights. Please stop. You need to stop policing how people treat you and others. If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. People should stop conversing with you, because all you do is pull the victim card. Stop picking fights please.

There’s a theater company that does not have a balcony per say. This theater labels their seating chart orchestra, lodge, mezzanine. Even the lodge and the mezzanine is like one big balcony that is separted about a wak way and some stairs.

I’d like to apologize to everyone on this thread who feels that I have attacked them or reacted inappropriately. While I think it’s silly to overreact over someone commenting on a thread from a while ago, I DID overreact in my comments and for that I’m sorry The mezzanine is not the balcony. Or is it? I’ll try to avoid having this happen again.

Thanks for the apology. We all lose it here now and then for one reason or another. An apology, even if we think undeserved, should end matters and everyone should forget about the trouble.
