So in your opinons what theaters do you think has the best/worst partial view seating?
I think that the Shubert has the worst and the best would be the Gershwin.
I had partial view at the Gershwin and it was pretty darn nice.

SRO at the Broadhurst was partial view and I missed only 30 seconds of action, more or less.
Best:
Hirschfeld
Broadhurst
Worst:
Ambassador
August Wilson (Well, it depends on where you sit)
Best: GERSWHIN.
WORST: RICHARD ROGERS.
I don't think the Marquis is bad at all. There isn't a bad seat in that house. The Walter Kerr partial view on the sides are pretty bad, but I only sat there for Grey Gardens. The house pieces on the wall jut out so it's hard to see any upstage action. I don't know how it would be for other shows though.
Yeah the Richard Rodgers is a pretty bad partial view theater especially if u sit in the back of the orchestra.

New Amsterdam SRO is TERRIBLE! You miss most of the set and action.
