In the restaurant business, as opposed to the theater, center orchestra is an 8 P. M. reservation. Orchestra on the side is 7 or 8:30. Mezzanine is 6 and 9. But people don't take it personally when they call the theater and can't get what they want.

I just worship Madonna. As, like, a young gay kid growing up in the '80s and '90s... I was at the Blond Ambition tour with my parents vogue-ing up in the mezzanine at the Nassau Coliseum.

Mezzanine refers to a specific floor level, often above the main entrance or lobby area.

Building Layout

Mezzanines are not usually enclosed like other floors and can overlook the floor below.

Partially Open

A mezzanine can be a visually striking feature in architecture, often designed to impress.

Visual Importance

Mezzanine financing often bridges the gap between debt and equity, providing flexibility.

Bridge Financing

In finance, mezzanine capital carries higher risk and may demand higher returns than senior debt.

Higher Risk

Businesses often use mezzanine financing to support growth, such as expanding operations.

 Nothing unusual about that at all, except that these are actually not the buttons that take you to an individual floor. It starts with garage at the bottom, I suppose, appropriately, but it doesn't go up garage, grand floor, mezzanine, one, two, three, four. It actually says garage, funk, rhythm and blues.
