| - TIP #1: Don't be LATE...
I heard the 2 minute warning DING DONG when I attended the entrance, so we ran over to Door D on the ground floor. The attendant said we still had time but not enough time for a trip to the washroom.
He gave me 2 options:
Option 1: Go to washroom and miss first 15 minutes of the show.
Option 2: Wait 1 hr 30 min until intermission.
I sat in my seat very patiently and unmoved and it was worth it. I was in the Orchestra Section Row D Seats 25/26 which is face-to-face to the Ladies in Bikinis and Men with Six Packs. BTW, this was Miss Saigon not a Strip Club. Plenty of legroom at this row for some reason.
Basically 4 rows behind the Orchestra directly centered we heard everything loud but NOT clear as either the voice/songs were either sung too quickly or the audio reverb too much. At some points, I just gave up trying to listen to every word and just try to get the GIST of the Scene & Musical.
The Engineer, Chris, John sounded clear. Kim was sometimes harder to pinpoint exact words. When it was group or couples synchronized ballads, it was like your mind had 10 people talking at once. I just focused on one person and IGNORED the rest.
Our seating position meant that we couldn't see the Orchestra hidden underneath and secondly couldn't see the play unless it was inbetween the HEADS of the 3 rows before us.
TIP #2: If there are empty seats, try asking a staff if you can trade for another spot nearby if you have TOWERING big men/women in front of you blocking your view.
The Centre itself is Ikea-ish but I hope it is because it is eco-friendly building however it is aesthetically pleasing with the soft lighting and spot lighting placed at the right places that bounce off either the WHITE walls or the transparent glass barriers.
The helicopter scene really gave a good test to the BASS of the sound system and it was very good almost like IMAX3D good. This coming from a guy that hasn't watched theatre in years. The ENGINEER rocks!
When it came to intermission, washroom line-up was typical of your Movie Theatre scale however I think that the men's washroom didn't have the right FLOW to it.
After your washroom, you wash your hands but then have to go backwards for the paper napkins and then walk past the sinks again before out the door. Movie Theatres have the RIGHT idea where you do Washroom, Sinks, Paper, Door sequence which helps. Maybe the feng shui guy gave them some other advice.
I took a photo of the Coat Check & Miscellaneous pricing for you convenience but during intermission no attendant was there so I couldn't get my OBUS FORME. :(
