Sorry if there is already another thread on this, but, if so, I couldn't find it.
I was planning on buying same day ticket for CFA when I am in NYC in November, but am now second guessing that decision as it's selling so well.
I see that I can get an Orchestra seat in Row A, Seat 6 (so front row, three seats from aisle) or Row N, Seat 2 (so right off the aisle). Same price for both.
My two considerations are view and legroom. Row N would seem the better bet in regards to legroom and maybe view. But if A-6 offers a better viewing experience, I'd settle for less leg room as long I can reposition my knee(s) once in a while.
So for those have seen Come From Away, what seating advice do you have for me?
I sat in H 10 and loved the view from there. Depending on how high the stage is, I wouldn't sit in the front row because it would be too close for me and I wouldn't want to be looking up the whole time. I am an E-L orchestra person. Given your two choices, I would choose N, but that's just me. I do enjoy seeing the whole stage at once for the set and lighting.
Thanks. I think I'll go with Row N I found a couple of websites that helped as well. I've posted links to them below. Worried the Row A seat could end up being partial view as well.
That will be a great seat. A would be too close and myopic. It's a very sweet show

Good choice. I sat on the left aisle seat in Center Orch. Can't remember the exact row, but it was probably only a few rows in front of N. Great view. Front row would have been way too close for this show. You'll want to see the full stage.
If the choice for tickets is between the extreme right vs extreme left side of the front Mezz, is one better than the other? I've never seen the show and am also wondering if I'll miss anything very important.

You're not allowed to take photos,and the production stage manager is pretty militant aboot stopping it."
Was going to say the same thing, it caught us by surprise earlier this year because we had seen several other shows that week that all were fine with phones out for curtain call.
Must be said that I'm fine with no phones, but I was with my daughter and teenage friends who are all avid rule followers and would have appreciated knowing this theater had different rules ahead of time.
As far as seats we were row C center orchestra on the aisle left side and I can't image much better seats. I loved it, probably my favorite show I've every seen. We were glad to see so many original cast members this far into the run.
