Avery Fisher Hall

Klezmerfest! was the first event I ever attended at Avery Fisher Hall. It was so amazing! I was having trouble keeping from dancing in my seat, and apparently a crazy old guy in red trousers gave up and started dancing in the aisles. An usher asked him to kindly sit down, but nothing would stop the guy. A little girl two rows up was flailing in joy, and someone sitting behind us was making the entire row of seats vibrate with their foot tapping. Eventually they asked the audience to get up to dance. It was pure mayhem! Another crazy old guy jumped up on stage and started doing cartwheels (I think he was in his seventies). That is just about the best way I can think of to possibly get kicked out of a New York Philharmonic concert…I was just waiting for the guy to stage dive.
