I know in the "Is TDF Worth it" thread Drood is discussed, but I'm hoping for some specific answers as to how folks have done.
Both performances on Friday and Saturday are listed -- I've still got Friday night and Saturday matinee slots to fill. I haven't done well with TDF for B'way shows (location wise) in the past, but the savings over the discounters is pretty decent so I'm hoping for some good stories from y'all.

Posted: 11/19/12 at 3:39pmI didn't do TDF for DROOD, but almost every time I've gotten TDF tickets at Studio 54 they've been rear mezz.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 11/19/12 at 3:44pmA friend of mine did "Drood" TDF a week or so ago. The seats were mid-mezz, and the view was completely fine, though she has long legs and she said the lack of legroom at Studio 54 is a big problem up in the mezz.

Posted: 11/19/12 at 4:35pmI did TDF for Drood on Election Day and got back orchestra. When I arrived they moved me and most of the people sitting near me to middle orchestra, third row.

Posted: 11/19/12 at 4:43pmcant comment on seating location for TDF but agree that Mezz @ Studio 54 is a version of hell on earth. really really uncomfortuable even if you're not all that tall. i'm 5'10" and refuse to sit in Mezz @ Studio 54.

Posted: 11/19/12 at 4:43pmI can’t speak for Drood, but I got a ticket for the night before closing for Anything Goes in rear left Orchestra from TDF. Probably 30 other people in the section around me also got their tickets through TDF.

I did TDF for Drood yesterday at the matinee. 2nd to last row in the rear mezz.. THE most uncomfortable seat I've ever had in a theater. I seriously thought I'd have to leave at intermission, but there were a few empty seats in the last row. Whoever designed that seating was not over 5'5". It is ridiculous.

Posted: 11/19/12 at 9:12pmI don't find the rear mezz at Studio 54 to be that bad. Certainly, the rear mezz at the Golden was 100 time worse! That was unbearable. And the Brooks Atkinson comes to mind too as being more cramped than Studio.

Thanks for all the replies. We got great seats using the playbill.com discount instead. About twice the price, but I think worth it for good seats.
Shall stick to my "TDF is only for Off-Broadway" rule, going forward.

Posted: 11/20/12 at 6:16pmReally, the rear mezz of Studio 54 is not for the long legged--or even the moderately long-legged. I sat there for one of those $10 previews of DROOD and had to sit on the stairs rahter than endure the discomfort.

Posted: 11/26/12 at 2:09pmOur seats through the playbill.com discount were third row, dead center. The stage was low enough that it was no problem at all. And those first few rows of the Orchestra have more leg room than I could figure out what to do with!
