I'd skip Piazza unless you like the CD. After all, that's what is going to be on stage.

I recommend (unless you have seen them):
Avenue Q (which has a Monday evening show I think)
Rent
Hairspray
Sweet Charity
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
All Shook Up

If you like Rent and Wicked, all of those should appeal to you.

When I put in best available tickets for Spelling Bee, I get tickets that are on the side of the stage. Does that take away from the experience at all?

I am positively not a big Phantom fan. Thanks for the suggestion though.

The Gershwin seating is amazing. My friend sat in the last row and loved it, I sat front row and loved it. The view sin't a problem, just far back, its a very large theatre.

Why not try for a Partial View ticket? I have seen Wicked many, many times and I always buy a $55 partial view seat in the front row. You really don't miss anything of importance.

I actually have updated my trip a bit and have actually have a few things set in stone:

Monday night: U2 at Madison Square Garden
Wednesday matinee: Wicked (I got the Row V Tickets)

That leaves me with:

Sat night: lotto to something (it would cut it to close for me to definatley buy tickets to something)
Sunday matinee:
Sunday evening:
Tuesday evening:
Wednesday evening:

I am definately going to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels one of those nights.

Others on my short list are: Producers, Light in the Piazza, Hairspray, Avenue Q, 25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee, Sweeney Todd.

oh so Sweeney will be open by then right? I'm interested in seeing that somewhat even though it seems kinda creepy

Yeah, I am holding out for Sweeney Todd tickets. I also wanted to see The Odd Couple, but that is a hopeless cause unless you want to go to a broker.

It is pretty creepy, but it'd be awesome to see Patti Lupone.

yeah when we had to do reports for music class in elementary school and my friend and i picked Sweeney Todd. I thought it sounded cool even if it does kinda creep me out

Hi! I have a quick question about the seating at the Gerswhin...Do any of you know at what row the Front Mezzanine hangs over the orchestra??? Any info would be great :)

Front Mezzanine Row A overhangs Orchestra Row O

Thanks for the help Baiseur82...The reason why I was asking is because I have tickets to see WICKED in ROW C Front Mezz and I have never sat in the mezz at the Gershwin! :)
