Should I purchase now. What's the word on the street about how it will sell? I will be in NYC the week of Thanksgiving from Wed to Sunday.

Also any opinions on whether it's worth springing on better seats. Or would first row balcony be ok.

I just bought second row on the aisle for a Saturday evening in October. There seemed to be a lot of seats still available.

M. BUTTERFLY is actually an intimate play, with few if any scenes featuring more than three characters. The Asian Theater-inspired spectacle is performed in between scenes; it was part of the concept of the original director and became written into the script, but to me it's only window dressing.

God only knows what Julie Taymor will do with it, but when has less ever been more to her? Were it up to me, I'd rather sit closer than the balcony.
