I'll agree with everyone else - the Mezzanine should be absolutely fine.
I also think (personally) it will give a great POV of the set for Hadestown. I saw the show in London sitting at the back of the theatre, and having a bit of height and distance was great.
DiscoCrows said: "That's fair. I've also thought about Row A Mezzanine, but from what I know it's a pretty intimate show and I had just assumed Orchestra would be better in that regard.
How tall is the stage? Would I be able to see over everything from there?"
I saw Hadestown at the NT last year, sitting at the very back row (and the Olivier is pretty raked so it was fairly high up as well) - I didn't personally have an issue at all at that
It's really tough to tell - I was very pleasantly surprised when the Bridge run was announced because I'd never even considered being able to see Maggie Smith on stage, and I'm sure it's the same for plenty of people across the pond too.
If nothing else, there's probably people very interested in having the conversation with her, but we'll see. I'll keep my fingers crossed for everyone who can't get over here to see it!
I'm excited to hear what people think of this - I saw her London King Lear a couple years back and liked it, and originally assumed this was a transfer of that (obviously I was incorrect!)
Ruth Wilson as Cordelia and the Fool really caught my attention, too - unfortunately I live in the UK so will have to live vicariously through all your reviews!

That's only when the Schoenfeld is open. I'm not sure where they go when it's dark. Possibly the Jacobs, Imperial, or Music Box."
I've been sent to both by them. Generally, if I am going to the Golden, I stop at the Schoenfeld first as long as they have a performance at the same time & just tell the staff I
Thanks for replying, Niles - we never rely solely on one forum or resource, and use a variety of sources to make sure our information is accurate, including contacting the venues themselves when necessary. As you indicate, it's important to make sure we're aligned with official information from e.g. the Shubert website as well.
Esther said: "You are missing the Cort Theater,the Golden & the Jacobs. There areno accessible restrooms in either the Cort or the Golden.The official alternate for the Cort are not even on the same side of the street:
Accessible restrooms is located off premises at Chipotle Mexican Grill across the street. Additional accessible restrooms are located at the Renaissance Hotel, 714 Seventh Avenue at 48th Street. Assistance is available upon request.

We were informed by the Shubert Org that their theaters provide in-seat (or at-seat) service to aid accessibility - I'm unsure of the specifics of this beyond that. Thanks for the tip, however!
everythingtaboo said: "Shubert's website should have this information, no?"
Unfortunately I don't think it does - I've been using Shubert's website for a lot of research and whilst they have information on accessible restrooms, it seems quite rare that they provide details of other restrooms and bars at each venue.
Wick3 - thank you for the advice! We've been in contact with Shubert Org and got some answers before posting on the forum, but given that it's a lengthy process it's been helpful to try a few different avenues for info. Women's restrooms seem to come up a lot as an issue, definitely! I'll make a note of it for future reference.
We've had some contact with the Shubert Organization in the past and managed to get confirmation for a few venues, so asking on forums is a secondary way of confirming where we may have gaps, or just need to double-check. I completely understand your point though - thanks for the encouragement!
I’ve put a list below of what I’ve found so far for various venues – if anyone has five minutes and could give me a thumbs up or down, that’d be absolutely fab.
Belasco– accessible restroom on ground floor; others one flight down from Orchestra & in the Mezzanne. Bar in the basement, on flight down from Orchestra.
Broadhurst– accessible restroom on ground floor; others down one flight from the Orchestra. B
Hi everyone! Some of you were very helpful a couple of weeks back with some tips on Broadway seating, so I'm hoping you've got some handy restroom and bar knowledge you can pass on too.
Some background: I work for a seating and ticketing website called SeatPlan - we're pretty well established in the UK as a resource for seat reviews and info, and tickets for West End shows. Kind of like A View From My Seat or Theatremonkey, but with our own style

CT2NYC, I'm so glad to hear you've found SeatPlan useful! Hopefully we can keep it up with the new Broadway content
And thanks so much for your message - I'll respond this week when I get a proper moment, and it's very appreciated.
I'm hearing a lot about very cramped legroom in some Broadway theaters - some choice comments about the Walter Kerr's Balcony gave me a bit of a giggle yesterday actually! It's something I've not had much trouble with because I'm short and small-framed, but researching these venues has definitely raised the issue a lot. Thanks for letting me know.
Is legroom something you try to find out before you book a ticket for a new venue, or do you have a good
