#3Help me pick my seat for Company
Posted: 7/17/21 at 9:25pmI'd go with the seat closer to the center of the stage even it's further back.

I prefer to be on the aisle left or right orchestra because you don't have heads in front of you. I also prefer to be within first 5 rows...So...C, or D, or E on the aisle beit 2 or 1 is what I prefer.
The current covid union agreement requires keeping audience at least 10 ft from stage. If that is one or two aisles, I don't know.
So save yourself the grief and get an aisle seat on the left or right side. I never really cared for center orch b/c even if I was on the aisle, I always seemed to get someone really tall in front of me. If you are aisle left or right, you don't have that problem. Hope that helps... Stay safe.

Are the extreme sides in the front not good for Company?

No, stay away. Unless you want to see 20% of the show only.

O darn, they seemed like a good deal. I sat there for Color Purple and didn’t feel like I missed anything but I can definitely see how the set for Company is more obstructive. Thanks for the warning! Anyone know about the extreme sides in the mezzanine? Are they okay? Or would you think back row of the mezzanine is better?

Yeah, I saw the first preview from E14 in the mezz which wasn't even the extreme side. Not that I missed anything, but the stage sets are just designed to be seen from the center.

Are the extreme side seats really that bad for Company?? I saw the london production and I remember most of the action taking place front and center stage. I was thinking of getting those extreme side seats for these cause the price is so much cheaper.
