I managed to get tickets the day they went on sale. the only problem was, when I logged into Ticketmaster, I unfortunately did not get a choice of seats. That's of course the way I would have preferred: the choose-from-map option.
Instead, everytime I tried, Ticketmaster made the section for me (of course, within the section I had chosen) and I could either accept or decline. I wanted seats within the first five-or-so rows (Orchestra) but never even came close. I finally had to

I managed to get good seats (I'm pretty sure) for the last week of April. They had not been on sale that long, so I thought it would be fun to go for the table seats: seats E10 and E11. 
Now by that time Norm Lewis and Carolee Carmello will have taken over the leads and as I'm not familiar with either performer, I can't wait to hear audience reactions. I'm sure I'll be reading them here first.
(Almost) being part of the show sounds like a lot of fun...but I&

I also had front row seats. The good news is, you will be able to see Glenn Close, and cast very well, and feel the power of it.

Now I don't mind having spent so much money - the most expensive ever for a Broadway show I attended. But a couple of posts back some people were commenting on the size of the stage and that front-row seats were really to close

Huge Bette Midler fan from the Netherlands here. First time I saw miss Midler was way back in the 70s, in Vancouver's (British Columbia) The Cave. I caught a few more of Bette's shows a couple of years later (again in Vancouver, the Queen Elizabeth Theatre) but then I moved to the Netherlands and never saw Bette live again.
Of course, when I found out bette would be Dolly Levi I just had to be there. The day tickets went on sale I was hunting for the best seats I could find.

I first saw Sunset Boulevard in London's West End, a couple of weeks after its world premiere. The main reason I went was because it's an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, plus the fact I love the movie. I liked (no more than that) Patti LuPone, was not too impressed with the score (sorry guys) but was glad having seen the original production.
