Moulin Rouge! Lottery Experience

[passing strange]

Hi all! I was able to see Moulin Rouge! after winning the lottery for Wednesday's matinee. The seats were $29.00 each with a $5.00 service charge per ticket, so very reasonable.  We were given Orchestra Row K,  the last seats at the right side of the row.  They were partial view, which was a real shame, since this show's visuals are it's biggest selling point.  I would advise anyone who is going to see this show to get to the theatre a little early, because you are allowed to take pictures in front of the stage. The set design and lighting design are absolutely gorgeous, and definitely make this show quite the Broadway spectacle. Here's a link to a video of the set I posted on Instagram:

As for the show itself, I really enjoyed it. The score is tapestry of pop hits, so those of you who need original music might not care for that part. Even taking that into account, I recommend keeping an open mind about it. The set design, choreography, and performances more than make up for the lack of an original score.

I’ve been trying the lottery for a while with no luck . I’m still hopeful though haha. How bad were the seats? Just want to know for when I win...gotta stay positive!

I'd say from where we sat, we couldn't see about a third of the stage.  I still really enjoyed myself, so it was a great deal, don't get me wrong.  If you can, just enter every single day.  Now will be the easiest time to win.  Once word gets around it'll probably get significantly harder.

Does anyone know if there’s a lottery loser code?

No, they don’t. The show is pretty much sold out for awhile at this point and if it isn’t, it likely will be by showtime.

Has anyone else won? Am curious about the seating. Wherever it is, I won't complain when the seats are $29, but I can't help but be curious!

I won the lotto a few weeks ago while it was still in previews (July 25th maybe?) I was second row mezz right like three seats in from the right. My seat was labeled partial view and it definitely was. The elephant trunk blocked like 1/3 of the stage. Im not too upset about it. Im not a huge fan of the show and for $30 or whatever it was I can’t really complain.
