Planning to buy tickets for Les Miserables and I need help. My choices are first row center orchestra or right orchestra row d seat 2 which is an aisle seat. What would be the best seat. I have no idea how high the stage is. Any advice. Thanks in advance.

While I haven't seen les miz yet (going try to see it this weekend possibly), the other shows at the imperial I have seen the stage is actually not very high. I I remember right, row aa for billy Elliot, your head was ABOVE The stage. I sat a few rows back for nice work and while I don't remember if it was as low as billy, I remember seeing everyone's feet well duringthe dances, so I imagine it was similar. By no means is it anything.like the Palace (neck brace anyone?)

I sat front row and didn't have any issues, but I usually only do that when the rows behind it are premium. If D is the same price, I'd go with that one.

This is a musical you want to see from a distance. Row d sounds like an excellent choice.

You can't go wrong with Row D, but I did sit in the first row, on the side, and it was really thrilling to see it from up close. I imagine sitting in the center would be even better. So either way, you're good.

I sat in the second row, center aisle and loved it. But, any closer would be too much. Row D works great.

The stage at the Imperial is not high at all. I sat front row for BILLY ELLIOT and had not problems and no sore neck, though it is certainly better to sit a few rows back to get a view of the entire stage.

I'd rather be back in Row K or so
