I recently went to see “Blue Man Group” here in Las Vegas at their new theater in the Venetian. Unlike when I first saw them in NYC off Broadway maybe 18-20 years ago. I’ve also seen them when they were in the Luxor here in Vegas so I pretty much knew what the show was about. My main concern was the seating. Unlike movie theaters, live theater seems to have stationary arm rests and lets face it..I’m pretty “Hippy” I posted a query in the BBW Vegas Admirers group and was pleased to see some others had attended with the same concerns.

So it was with great trepidation that I went. I wear a size 20-22. 18 on top, 20-22 on hips. About a 54″ and those seats were tight. We had seats 11 rows back, dead center. I would say THE best seats in the house. And our row was pretty empty. Out of 18 seats only 8 were taken. But since the arm handles didn’t rise, it was pretty uncomfortable after the 1st 30 minutes. PLUS if you are tall, forget it. I’m 5′8″ and my knees were about 2 inches from the chair in front of me.

Here is a pic of the back of the seats. You can see how the normal sized guy is squished in.

I spoke with the box office manager the next day and he said they can accommodate people in wheelchairs if they have 24 hours advance notice but there is no accommodation for those with ample hips or long legs.
