Those of you planning to attend this Jai Ho tour in any venue.. Just want to hint you that the whole setup - the arrangement of stage, projection, slides, gantry, ramp are such that the experience is maximum for straight viewers. One does not have to buy an expensive ticket but whatever it is, try to find as straight view as possible. This show is unlike other regular shows - distance is not a problem, angle will be and is; you can still enjoy from the side seats but at a compromized level.. I was at 45 degrees and did not even realize what have I missed till I came home and looked at some of the pictures online and felt depressed. I am not comfortable with the idea of somebody thinking about the show as average just because of the seats. But ofcourse we all know that ARR is about sound.
