Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.
LED wall that fits
Under a 3.1 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 2 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 51.2 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 81 x 2 (16200 x 400 px, 1,264 kg, 25.9 kW).

| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 81 x 2 = 162 | 40.5 x 1 m | 16200 x 400 | 1,264 kg / 2,786 lb | 25.9 kW, 125 A @ 208 V |

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
Seating estimate
After a 12 x 7 m stage, Foyer holds about 5,638 theater seats, 2,306 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 1,585 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 44.2 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
