Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

This makes nobody feel good.

Gypsy, Spring and Seagull Offer Aisle Seating at a Premium

We hate airlines even more than we used to nowadays because they find ways to nickel and dime it.

Congratulations, Broadway producers. You've become as shitty as American Airlines.

I know, I feel the same way. I can understand that it might be thrilling to sit on the aisle when Patti comes marching up to the stage or during the parade of animals in The Lion King, but other than that, what's the attraction? Also, I gather that you have to buy these tickets in pairs. and the second seat isn't on the aisle! (And I realize that some people might just feel more comfortable on the aisle).

The attraction is for people who are elderly or disabled. They often can't squeeze all the way across a row. So let's charge them more!
