I saw Central Park at City Opera - and I was sitting in the viewing box
behind the orchestra - where the surtitles were hidden from view. And - they
must have helped, because people were laughing at lines I could not for the
life of me figure out. I must have missed about 60-75% of the text. HOW
FRUSTRATING! Ok - musicals may be over-miked, and the voices may not be
nearly as good, - but at least I can USUALLY (i mean over 80% of the time)
understnd what's going on!
