Posting a followup on my take for the two seats I purchased. We sat in seats E10 and E12 in the orchestra section far right. I was very concerned about the seats given the earlier dreadful report from these seats but I was pleasantly surprised how solid the seats truly were. There were several times the actors performed at that side of the stage. It felt truly immersive. However, there were moments when you were looking at the back of their heads but it definitely wasn't a deal breaker. It only happened periodically. Their words and actions carried the emotion through. I think at one point the female sat on the stage in the back and we couldn't see her (maybe just her shadow). She wasn't speaking and just observing so it was non issue. The vast majority of times we saw all the actors front and center.
Some have indicated the signposting of timelines via lights on the back wall could be obstructed that far right. I might have missed a few of the letters but only a few were obstructed (ie Two years earlier...you could still see "two years ea..."
. I did feel bad for the two sitting in seats E14 and E16. I suspect they did not see the majority of the words which would have been problematic to follow the timeline. I am surprised the director didn't just showcase the words in the middle.
Posting photos of where we sat if this is of any help. The woman in front of me on her phone was sitting in D8..and so and so forth.
For $37, I could not complain. Felt like a steal. The woman to the left of me had spent at least triple the cost so I was definitely pleased! We enjoyed the show immensely!

I had a $25 seat, C8. There was one scene that was a little partial view, but even that was fine. I was very happy with what I paid and saw.

Is row A (2nd row) center orc too close for this show?

That seat should be perfect. This show seems designed (ideally) to be seen as close to the middle & near to the stage as possible to see the actors facial reactions. You also won't have any issues seeing the back of any of the actors. The stage isn't that high to be problematic from that distance. I liked my seat but your seat is primo!

Posted: 9/7/19 at 5:35pmI sat in the front row, and while it was probably too close, it was amazing to be so close to what is a very intimate show. It felt like it was just us and the actors

Hi everyone, I purchased a partial view seat for $25 for Wednesday Sept 11 at 2:00 that I no longer need because I rushed Betrayal on Saturday and had a great full view seat. It’s orchestra E 10 and I’m selling for face value of $25.
Wednesday, Sept 11 2:00 PM
Orchestra E10 $25
DM me if you want it.

Okay so I sat in a seat marked partial view, but I also got my ticket before they knew if it would really be partial view. I don't remember the seat number (Mezz Right, D 26? Maybe?) I had a GREAT view, aside from one part where an actor went off stage to get something. Otherwise it was a great view! This was also one of the $25 seats.

Posted: 9/10/19 at 11:06pmI saw the show tonight from E10 in the right Orchestra. With the exception of a very few brief periods where the 3rd actor was off to the side, I could see everything perfectly including the supertitles. And during those brief periods the 3rd actor was silently sitting or standing motionless so really nothing missed there. A fabulous bargain for $25.

I am seeing this tonight and am excited! Any new reports on the stage door? Are they still not doing photos with the actors? Still blocking off access to people who didn't see the show? Anyone sit in I seat 20? Looking for reports on the view from there!

I purchased mezzanine seats in G/H 25 & 27 for ~$100 each before the $25 PV seats went on sale. To my surprise, we were bumped up to C 1-7, so I was quite happy! There were a good number of empty seats in both the front and rear mezzanine.
