Performing Arts Seating Innovations at MGM National Harbor

Overview

MGM National Harbor Theater, a 3,000-seat premier entertainment venue in the region, is known for its cutting-edge design and commitment to providing a world-class experience for every guest. To maintain its status as a top destination for entertainment, the theater required a performing arts seating solution that combined style and comfort. Additionally, it needed innovative engineering. MGM National Harbor partnered with Hussey Seating Company to implement a unique seating system. This would elevate the venue’s functionality and guest experience. The renovation included state-of-the-art performing arts seating.

Innovative Engineering Requirements: The theater needed a solution that allowed the entire center section of performing arts seating to disappear into the floor, creating a versatile space for various event configurations.
Comfort and Style: The seating system had to offer both exceptional comfort and a sophisticated aesthetic to align with the theater’s luxurious environment for performing arts seating.
Functional Design: The performing arts seating needed to include features that enhanced both safety and the overall guest experience.

MXP Telescopic Platform: Hussey Seating installed an MXP telescopic platform, engineered to allow the entire center section of seating to retract seamlessly into the floor, providing maximum flexibility for different event setups.
Nose Mount Quattro Chairs: The platform was equipped with nose mount Quattro chairs, offering premium comfort and style, ensuring a luxurious experience for all guests in the performing arts seating arrangement.
Fixed Quattro Chairs: In the areas without the MXP platform the facility chose the Quattro chairs to match the aesthetics of the nose mount Quattro Chairs to create a cohesive look throughout.
Custom Aesthetic Features: The installation also included aisle lights and custom wooden aisle rails, which added to the theater’s sophisticated design while ensuring safety and enhancing the overall ambiance.

The partnership between MGM National Harbor Theater and Hussey Seating Company resulted in a groundbreaking performing arts seating solution that has significantly enhanced the venue’s versatility and guest experience. The MXP telescopic platform with nose mount Quattro chairs provides a unique engineering solution that allows the theater to adapt to different events with ease. The addition of aisle lights and custom wooden rails has elevated the theater’s aesthetic, creating a welcoming and luxurious environment for all visitors. This collaboration has solidified MGM National Harbor Theater's position as the premier destination for entertainment in the region, offering an unmatched combination of style, comfort, and innovation.
