I hope you get over here across the pond sometime soon - Ford's is wonderful -- and they have statues of the conspirators in the basement - my favorite is the assassination exhibit. No - you can not go into the Presidential box - you used to be able to do so years ago. But you can go around the dress circle to the box. They have also replaced the original reproduction cane bottom chairs with modern theatre seats which ruined it a bit for me - but that is that.... it is still a working theatre.

What's the dress circle... the first floor? So you can walk down the corridor to the balcony but cannot see inside? Or is it just fenced off?

What are those statues made from? Plaster?
