I have seen scenes in West End of London and Beijing, and the effects in the videos are very different. Official photography will make people miss many details because of the lens and broadcast, and the reverberation of the theater will make the accompaniment and singing better. I have to watch the same play at least twice. For the first time, I can sit not too far in front and concentrate on the overall effect and emotion. The second time is usually around the third row, with the best sound effect, and you will also observe many small moves that you didn't notice in the first time.
Of course, the biggest advantage of watching the scene is that you can see your favorite musical actors after the performance, take a group photo or sign ~
I hope I can help you!
