I sat in 201. Loved every minute of it. I really don’t think you could go wrong with any floor seat. The cast moves around enough that you see just about everything. With the floor seats, there will be times they are on your table and may even be sitting right on the table in front of you.

No. The applause you hear is the actors on stage. During the opening scene, the entire cast is on stage as he introduces them and the cast is applaudin
I am trying to figure out how long this will run. I am finding this show grows more and more on you as time goes by. Personally I don’t see this going beyond 5 years but I would love to see it. My gut tells me 2-3 years though. Thoughts.
I have seen it. Glad I did, but doubt I will see it again with the ridiculous prices. There is nothing that draws me back to see it again. It’s a fun 2 hrs but there are plenty of other shows that I prefer to see.

Love it. Dying to get back to NYC to see it again. I guess this will hold me over in the meantime
Hellob said: "I found it to be aggravating. The sets and costumes were awesome but they were doing TOO much with the songs. It was frustrating when they used 1-3 lines from random songs bc the audience reacts to every one and I couldn’t fully get into the story bc every 30-60 seconds, it’s disrupted by a unnecessary lyric.. I’d rather have seen Hadestown again. "

Saw this on Saturday. I think I bought way too much into the hype. I actually came away disappointed. After reading this board and Show Score I was expecting so much more. The show is visually stunning. The staging and choreography is amazing. However, I think the show lacked substance. I personally got tired of singing lyrics to various popular songs. I wish the musical had its own original material. To me it seems to be laziness on the part of writer. Certainly it would be fine to sin
I had the can can seats at today’s matinee. I wish I shared the same sentiments on the can can seating. Certainly the show is in your face and you have sensory overload. However, too much of the show is missed when the actors are on the sides and behind you. I wish I did sit back.

Seems the seatings posts have taken over the preview thread. Looks like this is going to be a big topic, so I started this thread.
Just downloaded the partial release today after watching Hadestown Tonys performance of Wait for Me. I cant get that song out of my head. My NYC trip is the first week in July.
I normally hate to listen to the cast recording until I see the show as I want to be surprised. What other songs on the limited release can I listen to without giving away any spoilers or surprises?

That’s certainly uncalled for. There are idiots in every crowd. You would think the barricades would prevent that, but I guess not.
Best experience was Hamilton while it was still in previews. Everyone including Lin was very friendly, and would talk to you for as long as you wanted. Daveed, Leslie, Oak, Renee, Jonathan, and etc, were incredible. I wish I could go back to those days as they were special for everyone involved.

For me, it’s the purest and most complex form of entertainment. In a musical, you have actors and a full orchestra. Where else can you find that? It’s live. You feel like you are a part of the show. Watching TV or a movie, there is no interaction. Also as others said, you are part of the audience enjoying the show. With live performances, I tend to get more emotional. It’s more intimate. It feels more real than watching the TV. I also love the feedback you can give to the performers. You c
