Somehow this parade looks backwards

The paying public should be on left

Never in my life did I understand Finale. Whatever the vaunted theme, the audience knows the show is over, and they're all getting up to leave. They're gathering the kids and old folks, looking for their purses and jackets, and they're not giving a rip about this goofy parade. The performers are all in a snit for having to stay in wardrobe for a walkaround their audience doesn't care to notice. Producers insist on staging their "Big Finales", and don't get it that the public isn't looking. Have a strong finish, like your cannon act, thank the crowd, and let's all go home.

I could have gotten out of Finale, Axel and Hugo never did it but Mr. Feld wanted the whole Family.
However I skipped it on closing night so we could get the elephants off the lot and headed for the cars before the crowd broke.

I'll ask again isn't this backwards

Either front or back track seats

should be on the left as the route

is counterclockwise as I recall

For many years Roger most of

the crowd stayed for Finale

Even when the show ran 3 hrs

The whole cast was out there because Elvin did his cannon as Finale.

So did both tracks head to the back door

In that case this would have been front
