Audiences at Broadway’s Jersey Boys have been more at home than ever in the past month following the Jan. 8-10 installation of firmer seat cushions in the 1,250-seat auditorium of the August Wilson Theatre. Jujamcyn Theaters president Jordan Roth and seating expert Ian Moore discuss the posture-enhancing makeover – Watch the video below:
The Wilson, on 52nd Street, became the first theatre in North America to use ProBax brand seating technology, an ergonomic addition to the venue. “Dual density foams” encourage “an anatomically correct posture,” reducing “back ache and muscle fatigue from sitting.”
The replacement of every seat cushion and seatback at the Wilson — from orchestra to mezzanine — happened between the end of the Sunday, Jan. 8 Jersey Boys matinee and the start of the Tuesday, Jan. 10 evening performance.
