Hi, how is seating arrangement in this Covid time? Roughly how many people are in the audience? Do they required the audience to wear masks?

It looks like the all stars is the one I’ve seen both times. It is an authentic listen to jazz evening you won’t soon forget. Totally worth the $20 and more.

There are four to six rows of bench seats and then a row or two of “seats” on pillows on the floor in the front. You can actually see exactly how many physical seats there are by going to the PH website and act like you’re booking the Big Shot tickets...you’ll get to pick your seats. You don’t have to buy; you can just see the seating chart that way.
