THAT would get me back in the theater.

I’m holding out for ice skates.

And that revival of Aspects of Love? Skates.

Yes, but this time it’s set in a junkyard and the story is told entirely by feral cats. 

Loretta Swit in Evita.

Also, I’m pretty sure those seats aren’t the “screwed into the ground” type, but are free-standing and sort of placed in front of the usual front row - I could be wrong about that.

Anyway, I wouldn’t sweat the partial view designation. As long as you and the people in the row in front of you don’t have a large height differential, you should be fine. (I tend to sit in row C or D on the aisle in that section because my wife likes to make a quick getaway at intermission out the exit door that’s right there.)

Please let me know if I was even close to being right!

Thanks for your input! Like I said, I've never had a bad sightline in that space, so I was more curious than worried. I couldn't imagine those seats being all that obstructed unless they were doing something really wild with the set design, and it doesn't sound like that's the case. 

 

And I don't blame your wife one bit for wanting to sit near those doors. The restrooms during intermission are always a total clusterf*ck under the best of circumstances.  

I just picked up a couple of the $25 seats - A 4&5 - for next Sunday's matinee, and they're listed as partial view. There are seats in front of that selling for full price. I've sat just about everywhere a person can sit in the Loeb Drama Center (including the stage and literally the floor) and never had a bad seat, so I'm curious what makes these partial view. I'd love to hear from anyone who's seen the show or is otherwise familiar with this production. 

Personally, I'm hoping for a trauma-informed production directed by either Daniel Fish or Ivo van Hove.

I still can't listen to the cast recording of [title of show] without crying. 

These are much less expensive and easier to find:

I can't deny that any of all of this is true, but I still feel warmly about my whole experience today. I certainly never got bored. I have a feeling it'll be one of those performances I continue to talk about for years to come. 

Before this thread reaches the fifth page can someone, ANYONE, give us an update on the things that really matter? What is the show curtain, merch, and stage door like for this show?

If you're uptight enough to ask a bunch of strangers if your outfit is inappropriate, then it probably isn't. 

"There was one glitch in Levin's plan to bring Nerds to the Great White Way, however: The rights to the play belonged to Vicki Halmos, a Palm Beach socialite who mounted Waiting for Guffman-like productions of Miss Saigon and other shows in South Florida." 

I would give several internal organs to see that. 

Thank you for sharing this. That was a delightful read!
