Resorts World Theatre is lowering capacity while adding flexibility as it goes dark for the summer.
As reported in this column about three weeks ago, the venue is creating a general-admission area in the lower-orchestra section. The work is being done after Janet Jackson closes her current run Saturday, premiering the new digs Sept. 10.
The theater’s updated capacity is 4,869 (combination of GA and seated) and 4,561 (fully seated). Those details were announced Thursday by AEG Presents, which books the theater in an exclusive partnership with the resort.
The venue opened in December 2021 with a 5,000 capacity, a beautifully conceived venue but lacking the free-flowing, party atmosphere many artists prefer with a GA setup.
