Tickets for the Cher show go on presale for AMEX card holders. That place looks huge. The seating map does not show where the dress circle and loge overhang. Also, photos from the dress circle look like the top of the stage is cut off? Any advice. Also, how are the side box views in the dress circle and loge? Thanks for any insight.

Yeah, generally avoid the Dress Circle and any extreme sides if possible, though Loge is far superior to Dress Circle.  The Oriental is the loveliest of the Chicago theatres, but they all have the same sight line issues with respect to the far sides and overhangs (and the sound at Oriental can be problematic, especially if you are in the first 5 rows of the Orchestra).  The Name-of-the-Month Theatre where Hamilton is playing is even worse with respect to partial view seats, which is why they are often used for the digital lottery.

Hey! Where have people been sitting for Pretty Woman? How is the view from Center Loge Row C in the center of the row? Any insight would be appreciated
