Can anyone comment on ORCH R2? That’s my seat for today and tomorrow’s performance. I know the overhang starts at Q, so was curious as to how much that would obstruct my view for this show. I was eyeing seats forever and foolishly waited til after the Tony’s to buy. Have only a window of a few months to see this show, so just want to have the best experience possible

Thanks for any insight. Super excited for tonight!!"

I've sat in row S orchestra and didn't even notice the overhang. Enjoy the show! That's an awesome seat dead center."

 

incredible. Just got so excited at work haha. Cant’t wait!

I'm super short (under 5ft) and my biggest issue is always not being able to see due to the person in front. Is there a decent slope in the orchestra, or would I be better off with dress circle / balcony seat?"

I'm very short, as well, and I always worry about the same thing. Fortunately, as Wick3 mentioned, they have boosters readily available, and they really do help a lot. The slope in the dress circle isn't great, so you could run into the same issue there. Some seats in the balcony have a great view, but I would never recommend sitting there over the front orchestra. I've sat there, and I would choose G 18 in a heartbeat, especially knowing that I could use a seat cushion if necessary.

I happened to have sat in Row Q and Row H. I would definitely recommend Row G even if you are short (I am also very short). There is a slight slope in the orch which helps a bit and the seats have nice "windows." Though the last time I saw the show, the usher told me that the cushions are just for kids and there were far less available for use, so that is something to keep in mind. Not sure if this is a new rule or just a particular usher.

As for Row Q. You'll have a perfect view of the whole stage and the mezzanine does not impede the view of the stage at all. Have fun!

When I saw the show two weeks ago, I needed cushions for my two kids.  I didn't ask an usher, I just got them myself and no one stopped me or questioned me (and I carried both large cushions back to my seat myself).  The cushions I got were located in the aisle to the far right of the stage when you walk in from the rear - if you walk in the large aisle between H and J, turn left when you exit the seating area of the theater.  You'll see a very short hallway and there's a shelf at the end.  I didn't know I was supposed to ask an usher so I just helped myself! :)  If you're a short adult who needs one and you're self-conscious about asking an usher, just get inside the theater as soon as the doors open and get one yourself.

If anyone's interested, orchestra E 6 is available on Ticketmaster for tonight/tomorrow, $130 per part. I have it in my cart at the moment, so let me know!

[gray_area]

Anyone have a single ticket to spare for both parts on Saturday (June 30)?

Yeah I think someone had it on hold and I couldn't get to it. Thanks for the heads up earlier!

Care to explain?

[Lauren2]

Sure so I asked a question on another post about Broadway Barks because appatently Sam, Poppy, Noma and Paul are appearing. I asked since Anthony isn’t if he is not going to be in the show the next day the 15 when I am going. (He appeared at Stars in the Alley so that’s what I asked). Someone commented and said that he is thinking about “being sick” that weekend. They also said that two of the four going are allergic to cats and are going to stay away from them but if they do brush away from them they might be out too.

[Myshmoopsiepoo]

He/she was joking. You can't plan "being sick".

Hi all! I just returned 2 $40/part tickets for Weds, Sep 5 (Balcony Row D). They seem to be available on the website already if anyone is interested

Wow, that was fast! Well, it might not hurt to refresh in a bit in case someone put them in their cart but doesn't check out?

I was able to get row A of the center Balcony for mid-july...has anyone sat in those seats and are they ok?? I have a 12 year old daughter that I am so excited to take and I am slightly worried being in the balcony is too far back. Any reviews would be great 

[BOM]

I just snagged tickets in row f seat 7 of the orchestra and was wondering if I’ll miss any of the effects. I’ve seen the show twice now from the dress circle and am referring to a certain effect that happens a few times throughout the show.

[hermionejuliet]

The Lyric has a really great balcony. And yes it is high but in relation to other balconies I've sat in, it is much closer to the stage. The effects are so magical from there as well. :)

Orch Row F is a great seat, and you'll definitely be able to see the effect that happens multiple times throughout the show in those seats- as long as we are talking about the same one!

Not on Broadway.  It's pretty far from the stage.  None of the Broadway theaters with balconies are as far away. 

**EDIT

The Palace may be farther, at least vertically.  But not horizontally.

I don't know about the technical standpoints of the theatre, but in my opinion the view from the Lyric balcony since  is heads and tails better than many balconies and even the back of some mezzanines. It could be that I just enjoy a further view of this particular show, but I would happily take a balcony seat in the Lyric over the Studio 54 or AA theatre mezz, the Shubert, Palace, or the Hudson balcony. I also like that isn't intensely steep like some theatres are, but it is still plenty stair stepped to provide a good view. And there is good aisle space, unlike theatres without center aisles. 

Again, just my perception of seating and NOT technical measurements. :) 

[oswino]

I have a quick question for those of you who have already seen the show. I'm looking at two dates, both similar seats, one is a Wednesday and the other a Thursday and Friday. In your opinion, is there any advantage in the experience in seeing them both on the same day, as opposed to seperate days? I'll be in a hotel nearby so travel isn't a factor, so just wondering for anyone who has seen it what they would prefer.

The Lyric balcony's distance from the stage is what makes it better than those at other theatres, in my opinion. If the balcony is too close to the stage, the sightlines suffer, so that you have to look down and lean forward to see it well. Other than the annoying railing in the side balcony sections at the Lyric, it's a much more comfortable experience, since you're able to look straight ahead to see the stage.

I don’t get the ticket release I got a 189 dollar ticket in Row J Seat 20 on July 15. Then I look on the 11th and they are selling 225 dollar ticket in Row A Seat 3 on the 11th? How does that make sense? Why didn’t they put that in before I would have paid for that!
