Broadway Show: Chicago Venue: Ambassador Theater. New York City.
Tickets are worth 112 dollars each and then you get seats with the smallest leg space you do not even want to experience in your nightmares. Even in Mumbai, which has higher real estate prices compared to mid-town Manhattan (source Time.com), I have had better seats to watch movies than in this theater. By the time the show is over, you develop serious knee cramps. The whole experience of watching and enjoying a diabolical and historical broadway show got marred by the weird alignment of seats. And believe me I was not alone in that theater with the problem. Indians and Chinese are "smaller" compared to Caucasians and most people around me were trying to "fit" in their seats or stretching their feet out to the next seat (in case it was empty).
The show was marvellous-the orchestra, the choreography, the costume and the light arrangements. Totally commendable. However for the seats...may be they need to find a new theater.

1. Don't buy tickets at face value - always use TKTS
2. I have seen Chicago at the Ambassador and did not find it unbelievably cramped
