#0Spamalot seating question
Posted: 2/25/05 at 9:53pmJust wondering, for those who have already seen the show, is this a big theatre? I'm about to buy tickets and wondering if I really need to spend lots of money, or will I still be able to appreciate the show from left/right mezzanine or balcony?

Posted: 2/25/05 at 9:55pmHave yet to see the show (March 16), but I've been to the Shubert many times (Gypsy, Chicago, etc.). It's a nice size theatre, and you should be able to see from the mezz. or balcony.

Posted: 2/25/05 at 9:56pmI sat in the rear balcony when I saw Gypsy there, and I could see just fine. It's high, but the view is great.

I've got a front row ticket for the 15th...Is that ticket too close up or great since I could touch DHP and Tim Curry. LoL

Hey Hedwig,
We saw the show last Monday night from the balcony, and the seats were *great*. Everything in view. The only problem with sitting up so high, at least where we were, is that some of the "Tricks" were revealed a little too soon, thus no surprise element. If you sit in the orchestra, you'll get a more "sensory" experience, too. Sorry for being so cryptic, but I don't want to spoil! Our balcony seats were $36 a piece...and worth EVERY penny. We couldn't stop singing the songs for...well, we're still singing the songs!
Have fun at the show, whenever you go and wherever you sit!

Would I be better off with the very back of the orchestra or front row of the mezz. Does the mezz hang pretty low?

Posted: 3/15/05 at 4:41pmI think front of the Mezz would be good, you would see more, and for those in the front row, just be careful of the spit! From the actors that is, not the mezz people! It is a fun show that never lets up and you should have a memorable evening! Azaria, Curry, Hyde-Pierce, Ramirez, and on & on! I love the English/Python humor.
