Seating Advice - Broadhurst Theatre#1
Posted: 1/15/17 at 11:50pm

I have only been the to the Broadhurst Theatre once about 10 years ago, and had a comfortable aisle seat in the Mezz.  There are no aisle seats remaining for the date(s) I'm looking at for Anastasia, so whether I sit in orchestra or mezz I will be in the middle of a row.  I'm pretty big (both tall and wide) and was wondering about the legroom.  Any suggestions as to which section would be preferable for legroom - orchestra or mezz?

I can tell you I have had two absolutely HORRIBLE experiences with legroom in the past - once in the center orchestra at the walter kerr - luckily the seat next to me was empty so I could kind of sit to the side - and the other was in the mezz at city center - good lord that was the most painful, awful seating experience of my life.

Do they sell the box seats online? Those are just normal chairs you can move around...

Box seats are usually sold only at the theater. 

I'm not a particularly big person, but I've always found the mezzanine at the Broadhurst (especially the last couple of rows) to be very cramped. 

My advice is to stick with the orchestra for this one. Others may, of course, disagree.

Anyone have any thoughts on the box seats? Was hoping to snag a ticket or two for Anastasia.
