Saw it here in San Francisco a few weeks ago, stayed to watch the 35 minute show twice, you can stay as long as you wish. Going to see it again this afternoon. I absolutely loved it! There are few bench seats, most folks sit on the floor or stand.
Photo and video is allowed. It's is almost a visual overload, hence the repeat visits.
BTW, there are two distinct versions of the show, two different productions by two different companies. Both are being shown in NY now, just one in SF.

I have a big soft spot in the heart for Van Gogh. Here is an ending scene from a Dr. Who episode where the characters visit Van Gogh and take him through time to the present to show him where he stands in the world of art today. In case you don't know, Dr. Who is a very long running British Sci Fi series. Dr. Who is about as cheesy as can be, but it can grow on you if you give it a chance. Anyway, you will need a hankie for this one.

I have often thought how cool it would be if we could bring some people from history into what was then their distant future. To note: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Mozart, Lee and Grant, Michael Angelo, the Wright Brothers, George Patton, Columbus, John and Robert Kennedy, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, Mahatma Gandhi, Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Davy Crockett, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, H.G. Wells, Walt Disney, Jules Vern, James Watt, Nikola Tesla, F.B. Morse, Robert Capa, Nicephore Niepce, Louis Daguerre, Leo Tolstoy etc. etc. etc. I would very much like taking any from this list and any of about a hundred more around for a couple of days showing them the 21st century. My favorites would be Lincoln, the Wright Brothers, Mark Twain, Tesla, Franklin, and Daguerre. Just think what Daguerre would think of setting in front of a computer composing and processing photos in a matter of minutes without any harsh chemicals! Bet he would get totally immersed in that! I left out Christ and other early Christians because I think they would be so disgusted with how the world had evolved they would just want to go back to their own time!

Your last sentence makes a lot of sense.
