PS our box seats were great, you miss a little but the design of the production doesn't intend that you see everything no matter where your seat is. So much happening on stage you can't possibly take it all in. Loved Isaac (Tony) omg his voice. ❣️❣️❣️

I am sooooooo glad Six didn't work out, otherwise, I might not have seen WSS.

Oh. My. God.  That was a gut wrenching, exhausting, heart breaking, mind-blowing production.  I had been resisting seeing it as I am a big fan of the original work.   The choreography was ambitious and I can't understand how they do that 8 times a week.  Most impressive was the chemistry & talent of the leads.  Powell & Pimentel are absolute magic. I was shaking when it ended.  Wish these leads got more mentions than some of the creative changes they made.  

Did you get your box seats as part of rush?  I was in the front row and used a booster seat, but missed some of the critical bits after Tony goes to the playground.... I would see it again, especially if I could get box seats.

Hi Sciencegirl, the box seats we had were rush seats, we rushed last Friday 2/28, got there a little before 8:30 and there were 4 people ahead of us, probably 25 people in line when the box office opened.  We were in Box A.  It's really not a 'box, more like chairs next to the front row mezz seats. The seats were fine, yes you miss action on the right side of the stage but it didn't impact the overall effect.  I plan to see it again next time I'm in town with my husband though husband not a fan of Amar Ramasar.  I personally think Amar has been in the 'penalty box' long enough.

I didn't manage to get Six rush tickets this morning (only singles left), so went along and got rush (box D) for tonight. We are both tall so hopefully that helps
