I know, you guys must get these all the time. Must be annoying as hell.

Well, I was recently struggling with the decision whether or not to go see Hair, or Next to Normal on June 26th.. and I decided to see.. both! I had to chose between Left Mezz, Row A, Seats 13 & 15 [furthest to the wall] and Row P in Left Orchestra, and I chose the Mezz seats.

My question is.. is my path of vision going to be okay in these seats, because I've read that the vision closest to the wall is a little iffy.. but I figured Row A would be golden. I've never seen a show in the Booth Theatre, so I wouldn't really know. So, for the people in there, are my seats okay?

Thanks in advance.

I think you'll be fine. I was on the aisle of row A the first time I saw it on B'way -- only 6 or 7 seats away.

Enjoy!

(And good for you for seeing both!)

Yeah i don't really think there are any truly obstructed seats in that theatre (at least not for this show with this set).


when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

The seats on the far sides of the mezz aren't bad at all. I sat last row mezz, all the way to the side, and it was perfectly fine. There's a staircase between the seats and the wall, so it's actually a very clear view of the stage.

Epecially since it seems that more goes on Stage Left than stage right, the left side gives a better view of the action. I was on the left aisle in row A, and had a fantastic view.

Yeah, the mezz is fine. It's the extreme side orchestra seats up close that have issues.
