Longacre Theatre Seating Question#1
Posted: 11/15/15 at 8:45pm

Is the stage high up at the Longacre Theatre if sitting in the first few rows of the orchestra?

Here are my seat choices.
- Orchestra, Row B, aisle seat
- Orchestra, Row N , aisle seat

Which seat would be best for a show like Allegiance?

Thanks!

I should have mentioned both seats are left orchestra, NOT center. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Would Row B give a full view of the stage or are there any pieces of the set that would obstruct  the view?

Visited the Longacre for the first time yesterday, and with Allegiance I don't think you would miss anything being at the side and up close.

Did you like the show Pauly3? Would you recommend seeing it? Having seen the show, would you go with Row B or Row N?

Yes, yes and row B.  Row N is not a bad seat because the back wall isn't even too far back, but being able to easily see facial expressions would likely make row B the better seat.

 

Yesterday, I wrote my thoughts of the show in the "Allegiance reviews" thread.  It's definitely worth seeing.

Thanks so much to everyone that responded to my post. Your suggestions and advice have been really helpful and are greatly appreciated. I just ordered Orchestra, Row B aisle seats for Allegiance. I'm really looking forward to seeing both Allegiance and Hamilton!

Thanks again!
