The mezz is really far back at the Winter Garden (overhangs row O I think). I just looked at a seatview from row A of mezz and the stage looks so far away. I sat in the fourth row house right and loved the view. I would say front orch over front mezz for sure.

I was in the fourth row. There were 6 seats but the furthest one to the right was empty. The theatre was otherwise full (Iegimately didn't see any other empty seats in orchestra) so I'm not sure if maybe that's a seat th

I did originally have mezz A28 before switching to orch D8. I personally am glad I switched just because I think so much if the acting was done in silent moments and I really loved being close enough to see facial expressions (when they were facing me). I think for me the acting would have had less of an impact from the mezz. But I almost always prefer orch to mezz and in my hometown touring venue I always sit in side orch.
I honestly kind of wish I had time to see the show a second ti

Artman, I actually think you'll be able to see the timeline signs fine, they all occur on stage left, so they're really only obstructed from house right people. Also some seemed to be projected onto the front of the stage, but I couldn't see those well either. The timeline is super important, and luckily I have read the play and saw enough to piece it together.
Your view would basically be the opposite of mine - you'll be staring at the back of Hiddleston's head in scene 2, but at the b
Is it partial view? Yes. Is it any more partial view than full price D6? Probably not, or at least not such a difference that I would pay the extra to sit in D6.
You do sometimes miss the actors who are not actually in the scene. There are very brief moments where you cant see the actor that is talking. I'm talking super brief moments that last one line. You do also miss some of the timeline signs (which really should be centered. It's dumb that they
As I posted in the other thread, I have Orch Right D8 for Saturday. I will certainly be happy to share my experience if I attend (I'm 90% sure I will; however I'm flying in Friday and if my flight is delayed to the point where I can't see a show Friday evening, I will probably see something else Saturday evening). I may not be able to post until Monday, but I'll definitely share.
What's weird to me is that the telecharge seating charts appear pretty wonky. If I log

I'm sure once more people see the show, there will be more discussion of the performances. As of right now, there is nothing to "get back to" because that discussion hasn't started yet. Only one person has posted that they attended, and that person could see enough from their seat to say anymore than "great act
ArtMan said: "I'm just really curious. Hoping others who have bought these orchestra tickets give their opinion. There are seats further back and closer to the wall that are marked $169. Their view, according to the map, has to be worse."
When it comes to side orch, further back is better because the angle is less extreme, so you can see more of the stage. Is their view $144 better? Who knows? But I myself wouldn't over $100 for a 90 minute play no matter wha
EugLoven said: "Well. after attending 1st Preview in the $25 seat (Orch E9)... Great acting. Great direction. Terrible seats. I easily (easily!) missed 50% of the show
The $25 are obstructed view. And I’m going to tell the box office attendants—who, honestly, I don’t blame because they didn’t even know about the deal until the last minute yesterday (as per the gent I bought from)
Those seats are available on Ticketmaster on April 1, 2020 (69.50/part) and are listed as partial view with a column obstruction. Maybe try taking a screenshot to send to stub hub?
I had one slot left for my August trip, and was thinking about rushing TKAM, but decided I couldn't pass up a $36 (after fees) guaranteed seat for this. Grabbed Mezz Row A Seat 28. Not sure how leg room is up there, but at least I'll be on the aisle.
Were these same seats partial view for The Ferryman, I wonder? I'm really not going to complain for the price, but I am hoping that it's partial view due to side action on the stage (and thus not partial view ALL the
When I saw the tour in Cincinnati, there was a note in the Playbill that the alternate Evan would perform on weekend matinees (I was there on a Friday evening and still had the alternate; not sure if it the weekend performance schedule was then modified)
I saw it in Cincinnati in May and thought it was really well done. I did have 3 understudies (which seemed like a lot since there are only 8 actors), including Evan. I did wonder if there was a bug going around that led to that, especially because one of the actors had a cough in a couple of scenes. There was a note in the Playbill that Ben Levi Ross was not doing Saturday or Sunday matinees (plus he missed the Friday evening show I was attending), so if you're seeing a matinee you w
I impulsively decided on Monday to take a trip to NYC this August, and this show was at the top of my list. Bought a super cheap plane ticket, and an hour later bought an aisle seat for Mezz Row E for 129. Now that seat is listed at 209. Glad I hit purchase when I did!

I've heard Come From Away as well. I wonder what time they announce today?"
They are currently in the middle of the world's longest Facebook live announcement. But here is a link to the show list: HAMILTON National Tour Mar 7

Saw the Angelica tour in Cincinnati last night. It was my third time (previously saw it in Chicago, and the Philip tour in Cleveland). Overall I thought the cast was wonderful (the only understudy I had was for George Eacker), but the standouts to me were Bryson Bruce as Jefferson and Paul Oakley Stovall as Washington. Paul Oakley Stovall especially. I was blown away by his performance, he was just the right mix of gravitas and levity. And his stage presence was outstanding, I was drawn
I saw it in Cincinnati in October. It was fine. I didn't hate it, but I also have no desire to ever see it again. I was glad I bought a cheap partial view ticket.
I thought the scenes where each Golden Ticket is found were really repetitive and was glad when they ended. I also had a hard time understanding some of the lyrics even though I had listened to the cast recording.
I wouldn't pay a lot to see this, but if you can get a cheaper or discounted ticket, it's a pl
