Come From Away limited view seats

I am bringing my parents to see CFA in a couple of months. Our budget means we're probably doing the limited view seats in the orchestra. Our options are left side, 4th row, and right side, 3rd row. Is one side better than the other? I know there will be things that we miss in the upper corners of the stage. I didn't know though for those of you who seen it, is one side better than the other? do they focus the action evenly or more scenes they will be hidden from one side or the other?

Saw this the other night and it was sort of last-minute, so all I could get was a partial view. Fourth row, house left. I missed almost nothing. 99% of the show is staged in the center, so I doubt you would miss much from either side. It is a very severe angle, which might take some adjustment. Considering the person next to me paid about $100 more, I would say, I got a bargain.

Don't shy way from the seats upstairs in the last row as well. That was what we opted for. The $99 seats. We were in the 3rd to last row center upstairs and I would sit there again. I would sit in the last row even. The theatre is so small. The overview of the stage was fantastic. But yeah there is very little action that happens to the sides minus some signs on the set for a gag or two but no real action. Everything happens pretty much in the middle of the stage.

My cheap self sat in the back row and my friend and me didn't miss a thing. I would sit in those seats again for sure! (Though they cost about three times as much for a ticket now)

Thank you. I figured with the next seat over being $177, it couldn't be too bad. 

My mother has mobility issues so we can't do mezz. How bad are the steps down to the front of the orchestra? 

Also, is there only an aisle between sections or is there an aisle along the wall to get to the outer seats?

I'm also wondering because I'm considering buying the last two seats in the 4th row during a show, too. I don't like the mezzanine ever (I'm an up-close seat snob) and I'm also wondering how the view is from the extreme sides.

I like orchestra seats about 10 rows back. For this I would sit upstairs. I do not like sitting far left or right in the orchestra unless it is farther back. JMO

When I rushed the show I got partial view on the far left probably 10 rows back. I was in the furthest end seat and there was exactly one line that I completely couldn't see (which was awkward because it was that character's first line). Otherwise I saw absolutely everything and the view wasn't bad at all. I highly recommend it, and if I went again I wouldn't have a problem getting those seats again. And for the decrease in price that you'd get compared to nearby seats I 100% recommend it. It's just such a fun show!!

I was mad at myself for spending too much money on a center front row mezz seat on this show. It would have been a perfect show for partial view like a box or extreme sides. Most happens center stage and there's not that much to look at. They should have done this production in Circle in the Square for a more intimate feel.

I bought partial view at the end of the front row of the mezzanine and didn't feel like I missed much of anything...

Sorry, I forgot to answer, probably your most important question. There are no steps down to the orchestra seats, but the floor is sloped a good deal as you get closer to the stage, Please be careful with your mom, if she's unsteady. There is a center aisle and an aisle against each wall, so she would not have to climb over anyone, if that's a concern.

Not sure how your mom's walking is, but house right is closer to the front door and the street. House left seats are a much longer walk to the other side of the theater and almost down to the stage. Hope that helps. Have a great time.

Thank you so much. That is exactly what I needed. I especially appreciate the info on which side is closer to the exit. She has really wanted to see tgis show and now the tickets are purchased. :)

I'm going in November and I'm considering Mezz Row A/B/C on the far outside (all three rows are available)- I need an aisle seat and this is available for under $100 - from what I've read, it should like this might be a decent deal if most of the action is center stage. 

The other seats I'm considering are Orch A/B/C - seat 2... aisle seat closest to center section but they are almost $200. 

Any input on these seats?

@sacteach I sat A22 (second off the aisle house right front row mezz) and view wise you barely miss anything. definitely worth it for the price. one thing i noticed about my seat was that there was extra leg room for me and the person on the aisle so if A22 or A24 is available I'd recommend one of those two

Thank you! Both are available, so I think I'll do A24 - aisle and a little extra leg room sounds perfect! And no one directly in front of me is even better :) With fees, it's under $100, so that helps my budget. I'm also seeing The Band's Visit that weekend, so I might apply the savings toward a better seat for that show!

There's hardly a thing to look at in this show, and most anything that happens is narrated at you in extremely literal terms. Sit wherever.

Sounds like you're going to have a great trip, enjoy!
