A very quick question about Broadhurst seating#1

Posted: 6/26/07 at 1:37am

Is row B center going to be way too close to the stage? I've never been to that theater before and I've only seen Les Miz once in my life about 6 years ago so I don't particularly remember if the stage was high or not. I do remember that a lot of action happened way up on the barricades though, so will I be able to see everything that's going on up there or in the back of the stage?

It's either that or Row E for a Saturday evening performance, I would prefer those seats but my friend is adamant about not seeing shows on a Saturday evening, so I thought I'd ask here for some opinions.

Thanks in advance for your imput!!

I got the impression when I had seen Les Miz last month that rows A/B were too close to the stage, but that is just my opinion. I never had Row B seats though. I had seats in Row F Center and they were absoultely AMAZING. Perfect view of the entire stage, everyone looks right out to you and you still get spit on. Which is great. I would go with the seats in Row E, which are even better than F. You're probably going to get more out of E which is still crazy close to the stage.

Hope this helped!

I sat second row back in March...it's quite close and in a way ruined it a bit. I prefer sitting a tad further back like E or F where you're still close to see but far enough to get the whole picture.

Go with E for sure!

Jack: For your information, most people who meet me do not know that I am gay. Will: Jack, blind and deaf people know you're gay. Dead people know you're gay. Jack: Grace, when you first met me, did you know I was gay? Grace: My dog knew.

Definitely Row E - in that theater, for that show B is way too close.

BobbyErikValjean, I sat there exactly too! And yeah, row B is way too close, even though the stage semmed a little low. Go with row E.

Thanks guys. Except I was in a hurry last night because I wanted to have tickets printed out by this morning (It's my friend's birthday today and these tix were part of her gift), and when I didn't get any responses I went ahead and got the row B seats.



She said she hates seeing shows on Saturday night so that's why I got the B seats, because they were for Friday night. I thought they'd be way too close, but I guess it's not a big deal.

So does anyone know how limited our view will be? Someone mentioned that sitting in row B ruined it for her a little bit, so now I'm sad that I payed $240 for them.

Why does she hate seeing shows on Saturday nights? That's usually when I've seen the best shows as the audiences seem to be into it which makes the actors get more into it.

I think it depends on what you like. I have seen Wicked, Whistle down the wind, Sweeney Todd and other shows from the front row and love having that close up a view of the actors. You can lose some of the spectacle that you may get further back but it is what you like that is important.

you'll find yourself looking up quite a bit, especially with the barricade scenes
