Ok, this is really far down in the thread, so I hope people actually read this, but I didn't want to be ridiculed for starting another one...

Finally set approx. dates to see this show and out of the many Telecharge searches I've done since it's been playing, the seating options I've got for the week I'm in NY aren't the best...

Are Orch. Rows K, L, M, N, and O too far back??? Those certainly don't compare to the Row E, F, G, and H seats I was hoping for, but unfortunately those five rows are my only oprtions.

They're all side orchestra near the center, so the view shouldn't be too bad, I just wonder if they're too far back???

Also, is it better to be closer and on the left (not the aisle Patti comes down) or a few rows back and on the right (the aisle Patti comes down)???

This is such a dilema...I've waited months to see this show and don't want bad seats. I'm sure those won't be bad, but I value your opinions, so please let me know.

I could also get center Mezz Row G, but my parents prefer the floor level.

Thanks in advance! I appreciate your advice.

I would agree. The St. James isn't terrible deep so sitting in row T is definately not a big deal. Reallisticaly they're about equivilant but one is up a level, which I'm sure you know. It all comes down to preference. Sitting in row T may cut off a bit of the upper stage but as that isn't every used in the show, you wouldn't miss anything.

So as I said: row T would be my preference.

I'm lost...I've actually never been in the St. James (No Producers for me!), and have unfortunate seating options:

To either side:
Row N Mezz

or Center Orchestra T, the last row in the theatre.

Any suggestions for which one would be best?

Thanks!

Get G 2-4 because they are aisle seats on the right, and in the beginning Patti walks down the right aisle.

I got the last row of the mezz from TKTS and the view was fine except for the very tall guy in front of me! But the balcony won't obstruct the view.

Bumping because I didn't want to start a new thread. I just got tickets for mezz row R, 112 and 111. Is the balcony gonna cut off some of my view? I don't really mind if it does, I mean, for 38 bucks, come on...

What happened to the orchestra seats? For not that much more (I believe there was a discount), it would've been nice to be that close. The mezz isn't bad though, not sure about balcony.

How is Row R in the center? I have no idea how far away from the stage that is...so if anyone can give me a clue that would be great...also are the seats spacious like the gershwin or are they smaller?

Patti entered on the right at Encores!, I felt like such a tool because I was staring at the door to my left, waiting for her entrance when I suddenly heard "Sing out, Louise!" coming from my right. *blushes*

Fantastic. I love the balcony seats at the St. James; I actually prefer sitting up there. There's barely any room to move but the view is great.

How Is Balcony Row A Seats 1-3?

[Tom148502]

Posted: 2/15/08 at 2:25pm

In the original production Merman made her first entrance down aisle, so you may want to find out whether the latest Mama Rose is using the left or the right aisle.

MovieGuy1031, what do you mean by "playbill to the face?"

[Zeitoujo]

Posted: 2/15/08 at 1:45pm

Yeah I think front row balcony should be fine!
I can't wait for GYPSY!!!!! =D

Well, I am sitting in the front row center balcony. Which I haven't done in this theatre. But I am sure it will be fine. If the front gallery seating at City Center was fine, I am sure this will be just as good.

Is the St. James theater a big theater? Because I looked for tickets that were in the last row of the orchestra...but i wasnt sure if i should get them bc i wasn't sure of how big the theater was...Also are the seats small...or do they give alittle room like the gershwin seats...The reason im asking this is because I might take my mom and she needs alittle room in the seat...Hope you all can help and thanks in advance for the help :)

What Broadway house has awful seats, really/

[millie_dillmount]

You might as well get C, but they are all amazing seats.

[MovieGuy1031]

Posted: 2/15/08 at 12:24am

I got Row C, 3 seats in for the last weekend of previews.

I went through the same debate, and I figured, as long as I don't get a playbill to the face, it'll be completely worth it.

In fact... even IF I get a playbill to the face.

Honestly?! They're all in the front of the orchestra, within four rows of each other. Come on, grow a set and use your OWN judgement! I DARE you!
