Al Hirschfeld - Stage Height

I'm attempting to purchase tickets to see Curtains soon and have a choice between Row S and Row A (center). I like being close to the stage (actors facial expressions et)...but I want to be sure the stage isn't too incredibly high to enjoy the show. Hairspray from the front row was not fun. Any insight? Thanks in advance.

The stage there isn't too high. I've sat in the front row there 3 times (2 times on left extreme, right center, once). Great view.

You miss their feet. That's about it.

Thanks guys! I think I'll go with front row.

I'd go with the front row over Row S; however, when I saw Wedding Singer from the front row, I remember the stage being a bit too high. You miss their feet (as you do with a lot of shows if you view them from the front row), and, depending on the show, you might miss a thing or two further towards the back of the stage. This might not be the case for this show...in Wedding Singer it was. There was a scene that featured Steven Lynch on a bed laying down and it was further towards the back of the stage. I don't believe there are any props in the show you will miss.

I sat front dead center for Curtains during previews and the view was fine. Altough I was slightly startled at the beginning of Act 2.

I've sat third row and row O, and preferred row O.
