Disability in The Who's Tommy [CC]

Описание: Also! If you're planning to go see this show on Broadway! Please note that the sightlines are SUPER weird, so if you are seated on the sides or too close to the stage you will miss a lot of what is happening. I'd personally recommend center-ish mezzanine (I was at the way top and it was great) :)
If you want an idea of the [in]accessibility of lighting/sound, here's a recent video they put out -    • Sneak Preview of The Who's TOMMY Broadway ...
