Yes, the VIC has an ADA section, it's good that they put the thought into supporting those with special needs. But this is your view:

If you look real close in the right corner you can see the lighting for the show.

If you can stand, which thankfully those in my party were able to stand a bit off to the side, so the view was okay when standing. But for the folks in wheelchairs in the same section, or couldn't stand, this was their view the entire night. Even if this dude wasn't there, it wouldn't have helped, because you are essentially sitting down; BEHIND the GA area. You get no view.

Further, they had to deal with people seeing a good place to get a better view continuing to try to sit in the area. (I was an asshole and pointed them at the sign that said it was reserved, and they politely left.). Those of you who are short know what it's like when a tall person stands right in front of you. Imagine that, plus you have nowhere else to go.

Is the Vic's solution to ADA: "I'm sorry you can't stand in the GA area but we are happy to provide you with the equivalent experience of seeing the show from the lobby.
