Thanks so much for the detailed seat breakdown of D8! We have D8 and D10 for a show in October and I feel a little better about it now after those early reports (though I am still debating an exchange).
I saw some people tweet at the show to ask if there were planned outages, and they said they don't make that info publicly available. I'm sure Denver Milord is great, but I'd be really disappointed to miss Damon, so I get it. Hope he's back for you!
Bought some $25 seats toward the front of the right side orchestra thanks to the comments in this thread. They aren't labeled partial view (even thought it seems like they should be), so I am hoping that most of the action for this is toward the center of the stage.
I agree with some of the posters above in that if you're even remotely curious about the show and you have the opportunity, you should check it out for yourself. They have discount codes, they have a lottery (which I've won), they are on TKTS.
I absolutely loved it (saw it twice, and I hope to get back for a third time before it closes), and it's given me a new appreciation for a show I otherwise wasn't interested in at all. We even rented the 1955 movie
We drove up to NYC from PA on July 5th to check out a couple of shows, since we were free and Friday had a few additional matinee performances. We were hoping to see Oklahoma! and Hadestown for the second time each, since we loved them both when we saw them earlier this year.
We won the Oklahoma! lottery for the matinee on the way to the city. Then we bought center orch Hadestown tickets for waaaay unde
My husband and I both won the lottery yesterday (and we brought family with us to the city, so it worked out well).
One pair of our seats were Floor 402 and 404, on the stage and all the way to the wall. Gertie sat in front of me for a good chunk of Act One, but I could see fine. Not the ideal angle for the show as we saw a lot of backs, but still excellent to be so close for $40.
The second pair was in row C in the same section - 406 and 408. No obstructed
It's not out here yet, but I can't wait! I've listened to "People Will Say We're in Love" from the OklahomaVevo YT channel an embarrassing number of times.
And I don't get why people act like a new recording takes the place of an old one somehow? If you don't like the revival cast album - or even if you do - the other recordings still exist.
I just saw it at the Ahmanson - entered the lottery, won first try, and got sixth row seats, which are easily the best seats I've gotten through one of their lotteries. So I'd recommend trying that route if money's an issue.
Ugh, I can't wait for the whole album to be released.
I also need some kind of deluxe album situation where they release the missing tracks from the NYTW album. I know that they had to shorten it for logistical purposes, just let me buy the whole thing digitally!
I haven't seen What the Constitution Means to Me yet, but I had never seen Oklahoma! before this version, and I absolutely loved it. Obviously it's been pretty divisive, and it's definitely a musical rather than a play, but I think seeing it at Circle in the Square is a unique experience that a tour won't be able to replicate.
I know What the Constitution Means to Me is closing in August, but it's on
We sat in row C, seats 232-230 and I would highly recommend those seats, or seats in that general area. We entered the lottery, lost, and then bought them as lottery loser seats for a considerable discount from face value - I checked right after getting the loser email, and there were twenty or seats to choose from sprinkled all over the theater.
Our seats were very close to the center of the long side of the circle, which was a great spot for viewing the
CT2NYC said: I saw it on 3/13, 2 1/2 weeks before the end of the run. He stood in a single spotlight which didn't move for the entirety of A Life. He shuffled a bit within the spotlight, but he was never dead center stage or stage right."
I saw it the day before it closed, and this is exactly how I would describe it. I was really glad that I'd gotten seats in the center of the audience.
Saw it tonight in LA, and loved it almost as much as when I saw it on Broadway for the first time a couple of years ago. We won the Today Tix lottery for $25 tickets, and the seats were center rear orchestra. Didn’t notice any issues with the sound.
I don’t think it’s a show for everyone, but I found it moving despite the relative enormity of the Ahmanson.
Woooooow. I'm coming back to NYC in May, and was flip flopping between seeing this again (because I absolutely loved it) and seeing Oklahoma for the first time, and this price hike has basically made the decision for me. The center rear orch seats we had in March have basically doubled in price.
