Have attended shows a quite a few times in a theatre or cinema and found the atmosphere rather flat.If the stage was seated it wasn't too bad but if if it was only seated one side in the permanent seats it was an eerie sort of atmosphere.If there was a balcony it was usually too far away to make any difference.However,there were possibly plenty of places where it was a great success.Your thoughts please.

Although not a theatre Newcastle City Hall was a noted concert venue and the ring was on the stage, the best seats near the action were actually the choir steps at the back of the stage you were close to the action and level with the ring. They probably sat 200 or maybe a few more and were always my preferred place to watch the action. It also added to the atmosphere as sitting in the stalls or balcony I thought you were detached from the action .
Although it held 2500 and the wrestling drew decent numbers for a long time it wasn't the same atmosphere wise as St James Hall.
