MOTHER PLAY seating question

In my experience, for most plays, once you hit the double digits in terms of seat number, it’s partial view (though less so if you are further back).

Also, there is no side aisle, so the further in you are, the closer you are to a wall

Thanks for the responses. For Appropriate, I sat against the wall in Row G in Orchestra Right (OR). Missed a bit of the action (hence the partial view), but seemed like the actors were facing OR more. Guess we’ll find out more after tonight.

Here’s a decent picture of the Mother Play staging (without props and furniture) and the first rows of the orchestra.

I watched from orchestra row H in the farthest seat on the right side (sold as partial view but IMO a better cheap option than the last rows of the mezzanine). The same single on the left side would have been better in terms of seeing more of the entrances and exits, but I didn’t miss much and nothing important. FYI, the farthest seat in row G is much more obstructed (there are the same number of seats in rows G and H, so that the far seat in H isn’t directly against the wall). The play wrecked me, as it should any queer with a mother. All three actors have never been better. Buy now, I can’t imagine this not becoming a hard-to-get ticket.

We were G 4-6 in the right side orchestra. Ok sightlines and didn't miss much to the stage's side. However, I can't remember ever sitting so uncomfortably in a Broadway house. Super narrow seats, angled toward the left, neighbors with elbows right in our sides. Awful. Knew there wasn't an intermission, so I found myself praying for the show to end (despite liking it overall.) So, mostly liked the show, but worst "seating" experience in recent memory. Avoid Hayes' side orchestra like the plague. The narrowness combined with the angle was a killer. (Made worse by guy in G 2 leaning and jabbing his elbow into me instead of the open aisle. Also didn't turn his watch to "theater mode" until halfway through, so he received alerts for the first 40-50 min of the show -- and read each one. Ugh.)

I sat in B107. Spectacular view.

has anyone tried to get student rush tix for Mother? 2st sells student rush 2 hours before curtain. A student friend of mine did well with Appropriate and managed to get student rush one evening. Hoping we can get into Mother the same way.

Thank you thank you

I sat Mezz Row E103. Great sight line and no head obstructions, the mezz is raked.
