To think if you are an adult with a huge head

OT but Boutique Bonita and Shoffel do hats in actual sizes but I can’t comment as I haven’t take the plunge @BunfightBetty

In some cases it can't be helped...but in other cases they deliberately inflate their heads before going into the theatre?

I always think that at standing gigs, if you know you’re exceptionally tall your could be more considerate for those of us who don’t benefit from the height genes. They always stand in front of me an bob around to make it extra hard to look round them.

Carry a periscope, sorted

I was hoping for some plus-size hat supplier tips too!

So hard to find a hat big enough when manufacturers seem to assume that if you're female you must have a dainty head.

I think if you're over 5'8" and have a head size larger than medium, you should only be able to book seats in the back half of each seating section in the theatre. Give us short-arses and kids a chance to see.

I'm not sure what I should do though, as I'm only 5'3" but have a huge head like Charlie Brown.

Throw stuff at the head to teach them a lesson

Was he grown up Stewie Griffin?

I have a big head but am 5 ft nothing. Do I have to sit at the back?

Oh lord I’m 5’6 with a big head. Maybe I should lock myself in my house.
Like a pp I would love to find a hat that fits!

You should of booked front row seats before they sold out . You snooze you lose 🤣🤣

*apologies for double post- dodgy internet connection on the train!

I have a huge head but am short. Where do I sit?

It’s another ‘To think…’ post - where do you get all these ideas from OP?

My dh has a big head, broad shoulders and is 6’6 with long legs. I’m 5’3. Where do you propose we sit if we go to the theatre together?

he slouches down as much as he can- but his long legs make this very painful and difficult for him. He also (unless impossible to do so) always sits in an aisle seat and leans his head/legs out towards the aisle as much as he can to not block people’s view.

My perspective is he’s paying for a ticket as much as anyone else, why should he sit miles away in the cheap seats where he can’t see as well just because he’s tall?
I’ve been sat behind very tall people, as long as they’re not being deliberately obnoxious and they keep their head still (so I can look around them) then It’s not a them problem; it’s a me problem.

people are so entitled sometimes.

Do you want a Ryan air bag checker style head size checker?

I’ve got a huge head and was hoping that this would be a thread about where to get hats because none of them fit me.

Funnily enough you can’t tell by looking at me so I don’t think I will cause offence by sitting in a seat in the theatre.

Surely it’s tall and/or wide people that are the problem unless these same people also have extravagant hairdos?

Anyway OP you’re being a real silly billy.

Which theatre was this? I'm guessing they must have had an unusually low stage as generally the stage is so high (so people further back can see) that the first few rows have to look up, and are therefore looking over the heads of anyone in front of them. This also tends to make the front row cheaper as you can't see stuff happening lower down/at the back of the stage.
I'm an average sized woman, and yes it's annoying when I get someone tall in front of me, but I wouldn't want to sit at the back as that's often also restricted. I find the dress circle best for children as the rake is generally better. Also this is why they have booster seats.

What about people with big hairdos? Don't be daft.

We also can’t do anything about it!

I can’t shrink myself from 5’ 10” every time I walk into a theatre.

I am conscious of it. I do book the back row of the cinema. I always try and book an aisle seat in the theatre so that my legs aren’t annoying anyone.

But I will sit close to the front in the theatre (ideally on the first balcony up) and if someone short has the seat behind me, they can get a booster seat from an usher.

Importantly I sit still - I know how annoying someone fidgeting around in front can be just when you’ve sorted the best angle to watch the stage around them.

When I’m at a live gig I stand at the side, not in the front or in the middle of the crowd.

Beyond that (which is plenty) there’s not much I can do.

Big heads and tall people should be forced to go to the back! Should be the law! 😀

Im guessing you want the website to be given access to their camera so it can measure their head and seat them accordingly?

Not sure about this but I think tall people should think twice about sitting at the front. Also big hats aren't great for the people directly behind.
