Michael Riedel of The New York Post encounters Spider-man’s famous safety issues:
The management of the Foxwoods Theatre, home to the be leaguered “Spider– Man: Turn Off the Dark,” has admitted that at least some sections of the orchestra are unsafe.
And to whom did management admit this? Yours truly!
I got a ticket from an online broker for last Thursday’s performance, the first since Christopher Tierney plunged into the orchestra pit. As I was making my way down the aisle, a security guard approached and said, “Sir, may I see your ticket?”
I was wary, but showed it to him anyway.
“You can’t sit here, sir,” he said.
Suspecting that I was about to be thrown out of the theater on my ear (can’t imagine why!), I stood my ground. “That seat is empty, and it’s mine,” I said as I scrambled over several sets of knees.
A few minutes later, the guard returned, this time with a house manager.
“I’m going to have to move you, sir,” the manager said.
When I asked why, he said — and I quote — “For safety issues.”
