My daughter and I attended The Hip Hop Nutcracker here tonight. We've never been inside The Knight Theater and with this being our first time I must say the staff, the set up, the restrooms and the theater itself was very welcoming.
The space is very open with some large pillars through out but nothing so distracting that you can't take in the high ceilings and open floor plan in the lobby and mingling area which is what I like to refer to it as for theaters before the show.
The actual theater and seating set up was very nice and in my opinion there wasn't but one bad seat in the house. I could be Bias as we were in orchestra seating, however when we entered (Door 3 for our seats) I looked around and every seat seemed positioned in a way that everyone could see well which is what I thought until the show started and I looked to the seats to the right of the stage if you are facing the stage and noticed that a young lady was almost over in orchestra seating with her neck trying to see the stage when the performers had props and did things on the right of the stage behind (really like 2 o'clock of the 3 o'clock dj) the Dj booth. Luckily there were only a couple of short scenes in that area of the stage (total time spent in that area for this productions was about 15-20mins) where the people not so tall in this seating to the right of the stage facing the stage elevated could not see.
The other thing is the seating isn't really on a slope where it helps when you aren't so tall and someone tall sits in front of you and prevents you from seeing.My daughter is actually taller than me however someone sat in front of her that was extremely tall so she had to basically lay on my chest to see some scenes on the floor of the stage due to this.
I look forward to checking this place out again and seeing another production as we've been in Charlotte now for 4 years and this is our first time checking out a production here. We usually go to New York, Chicago, Spain, L.A, etc.. or somewhere else to see productions because we know what we will get which is nothing short of amazing experiences. I am glad we experienced this place now so we will be back for sure.
