I was not that all familiar with [title of show] and just now I watched a few videos and fell in love with several of the songs. If I were to get Balcony seats, would I still have a good view of the stage? I'm not familiar with the theatre at all.
Thanks to whoever can help.

Posted: 9/20/08 at 1:01amIf you get balcony seats, they might have you move down. I don't think anyone was sitting up there tonight, or on other nights. Unless you are buying tickets for the last show. But I can't really offer much info on the view.

Posted: 9/20/08 at 1:10amI personally feel that the balcony's fine. I've sat there twice, once in the very last row, and was perfectly happy. It's a really small balcony, only 7 rows, and it's pretty steep, so I didn't have problems seeing. I'll be in back balcony for the last show, unless I somehow win the lottery.

I sat in the balcony for Opening Night of [tos] and the view was perfect.

I personally think the balcony at the Lyceum is terrible. Sat in the front row of it for Macbeth. It was difficult to see and hear things. The rows are not flat across, and many seats are tilted at weird side angles. For those afraid of heights, it is also VERY steep. Bad sightlines if anyone is tall, leans forward, or stands up.
But if it's the only place you can sit for the last show, then you should brave it anyway. Better to be there than not at all. [title of show] only uses the very front part of the stage anyway, so it might be better.

Posted: 9/20/08 at 11:05amI saw tos from the balcony. It's fine. There was an annoying couple behind me who kept howling long before the punchlines were delivered, but assuming they are not there every night, you should be ok. Enjoy.
