This review is based on watching the touring production of Rent 2019. The Lied Center's auditorium is large and spacious. I'm not sure if there is a bad seat in the house, mine was very nice. Plenty of leg room and could see everything without obstruction.
The issues I encountered were the lack of theatre discipline by the center. People were on their phones, talking, using their flashlights and flashes. At no point did any usher make any comments or chastise the attendees for ruining the experience for everyone else. In fact they helped by using their own flashlights to blind the audience members. In addition, the tickets stated that latecomers would not be able to enter at any time and would have to wait for appropriate pauses. However, the distractions caused by people shuffling in at all manner of time was incredibly annoying. So if you'd like to see a touring Broadway production, I'd recommend you go somewhere else.
