The Band's Visit Seating Question

[theaterdude2]

Assuming I like sitting close, is front row too close for The Band's Visit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No. It's probably perfect. It's a show that's best seen up close.

Closer is better for this one.

Good to hear, because Row AA is where I’ll be sitting in less than 20 days. :)

I know closer is better, I was wondering whether the stage was too high for front row and if I'd have full view without straining my neck. 

Does anyone have any idea? 

Thanks!

I can’t speak for the front row, but I loved my experience in the second row - being so close to the actors, seeing their every facial expression and hearing every sigh, made this show even more beautiful on my return trip. I had to look up slightly, but I didn’t find this much of an issue. And it’s only one act! 

FWIW, I sat in row L my first visit, and that is also a fantastic seat if you like seeing the whole stage and don’t want to be quite so close.

I say front row at Barrymore for Six Degrees and it was great.  I missed some of the scenes that happened further upstage but if I recall, most of Bands Visit is staged downstage.  It is really better to be closer for this wonderful and intimate show.  I saw fourth row on the right and it was perfect.

Based on advice from the boards, I called Telecharge during my brief layover in Atlanta on way to NYC in November. I paid $20 to upgrade my front mezzanine seat to second row Center Orchestra. Best $20 I ever spent (tied with my $20 lottery Today Tix ticket to On The Town). I’m tall, but I’m confident I’d still feel that way even if I wasn’t.

I sat in the next to the last row upstairs, house left aisle  seat next to center and it was perfect.
