I'm looking to book seats to see ADD1NG MACH1NE over the summer months. Having never ventured over the Minetta Lane previously, I'm curious as to how the seating is formatted. What's the first row of center orchestra (or closest most seat?), and how many seats are in each row exactly? I know it's a rather SMALL and INTIMATE space, so I'm LOVING that already - especially for something with the look and feel and flow of this piece. Just for reference: Is there a stagedoor? If so, does the cast/creative sign and take pictures wit those waiting? Any and all insight appreciated.

First row might be too close. Towards the end of the play, I think it would be best to sit a little further back to get the whole picture. I am not sure though. I was sitting in row M, and it was pretty good from there.
1st row, 2nd row, are WAY too close. Those seated in the front row were so close to the stage, they were looking almost directly up the entire time - the performers' feet are at your eye level there. The front mezz seats are much better. They should rip up the first 2 rows from the orchestra in that theater.
How does one GET to this theatre from Times Square??
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

How's Row C - 101 and 102? I'm booking for a matinee. THose were the first seats offered. Are those (center-most) location, or should I aim for further down in Row C?
