Once on this Island - Seating Recommendations?  Apr 30 2018, 12:10:09 AM

I was there tonight, was in seat F 131 and thought it was perfect. Only thing better would be one over to be right on the aisle or maybe one or two rows closer but those are much more expensive. It was the best of both 100 and 200 cause it was angled towards both of them. There were several entrances and exits in my row as well. It was also far enough back to really appreciate the staging.  No photo of a view from my seat cause photography is banned inside the theatre. I could elaborate

Barbra said: "Wow, if anyone can go this coming Wednesday, some Dress Circle Center Row A seats at $165 per part have been released on Ticketmaster. Have to assume that those are usually $299."

For this past Wednesday, they had dress circle row A seats 105 and 107 available for only $130! Unfortunately I didn’t jump on them fast enough. I also saw Orchestra rows K and N also for $130. This was about a week prior to the show. 

So for those that want


Once on This Island lottery  Apr 29 2018, 11:55:33 PM

I was there tonight. I had a ticket already but went for the lotto for DH. He said there were about 40 to 50 people there and the price for the regular lottery was $49.50. They gave out 20 tickets for the first phase. After those were drawn, they had lotto losers tickets for $59.50. Everyone left got those and DH was the very last name picked out and called. 

When I got there about 7:15pm, I saw a few people getting the lotto loser price by just walking up to the box office.&


OOTL which seat? F 131 or D 411 4 tonite  Apr 29 2018, 07:26:20 PM
Okay thanks all. Stuck with my original seat. Row F 131! Thanks!

Please delete  Apr 29 2018, 06:43:21 PM

Please delete mods. I already saw the show and don’t want to interfere with the OOTL seating recommendations thread. 

 

hey DH and I have seats for Once on this island tonight. His lotto loser seat is row D seat 411 and mine is row F seat 131.

which is better? I want to sit in the better seat myself. I hear d some mentioning on here that the 400 section isn’t the best but his seat is closer to the stage.

if anyone is out there, show st

That’s what I’m doing, except it’s a THREE show day for me today! :)

DH won the lotto on Tuesday and got row N in the Orchestra far right, two in from aisle. Great views he said. Zero obstruction.



My Fair Lady seating  Apr 29 2018, 12:12:29 PM

My seat last night Orchestra F seat 109 provided an almost perfect view in my opinion. I found Lauren especially often looked directly at me. The view of the stage was nice too, no obstruction. Great views of the revolving sets as they turned!

Comfort on the other hand wasn’t the greatest. I think going for that aisle seat was a smart move, the show is almost 3 hours long! I’m fairly short, about 5 foot 4 inches and after close to 90 minutes in the first half my k

I saw My Fair Lady last night and am seeing Once on this island tonight so will report back on which I preferred.

There is an option on Ticketmaster for part one or two only. Give it a shot, if you are flexible with dates, you may find something.

I'm seeing it tonight from Orchestra row F seat 109. Will report back with a picture of my view.

It is on the far sides but super close.

Scored tickets for a Sunday July 29. Thanks, again, you are the best CT2NYC! I’m going to try and get a Potter fan pal to drive us down from Toronto for the weekend! If not, I’m sure someone on here would be more than happy to take the tickets off my hands!

Tag said: "I can't imagine that the physical production in it's West End or Toronto incarnation will tour. The show is massive and technically complicated."

Hey it was a tour that was in Toronto last fall. It only had a 2 month run and although the staging was nice, I believe it could easily be moved and tour in the US if the demand was there.



Harry Potter - read play first?  Apr 27 2018, 11:11:13 AM

I would recommend NOT reading the play right. DH and I saw it this week. I read it, he didn’t. I think not reading it gives all of the surprises that happen all that more exciting. Don’t want to elaborate much to avoid spoilers.

I was there yesterday and had an amazing time. Broadway fans, you all in for a massive treat.

A note on my seat. For Row L seats 101 to 108, I would recommend using a seat cushion. I actually ended up using two since for those seats, row L is the last row and two cushions won't impact the view since row M is staggered starting at about seat 109.

I also took CT2NYC's advise to use bincolars. They came in very handy!

I was also there. A few highlights - Andrew Garfield making out with one of the puppets from Avenue Q! Bernadette Peters using Victor Garber as a chair!

Thanks! It’s a toss up if I can even make it time from the airport so didn’t want to get a ticket in advance. But good to know if I do, I have at least a shot at tickets.
