Has anyone been to a show at ART? I'm making plans to go see Finding Neverland next month. Any recommendations on seating? Is the stage up high, making the first few rows uncomfortable?

If you are lucky enough to be able to snag a seat in the dead center of the first row after the break between the front section and the rest of the house, that's heaven. It's where I sat for The Tempest. I've been down in the front section for a lot of things, Glass Menagerie and Porgy & Bess, to name two. There are good things about it. I also like on the aisle about three or four rows up on either side in the main section.

Awesome, thank you! It looks like I may be able to get that first row after the break. Thanks for the suggestion!

Also, is there a stage door at the theater? Have you met anyone after the shows you've seen there?

I've sat in a bunch of locations, from the second row to the last row. They're all great seats. It depends on what configuration they use for the stage. I was in the second row for The Tempest last month, which had a normal raised stage, and the view was perfect.

I've never seen people looking for autographs, etc. after a show, but I did bump into Bryan Cranston at a nearby restaurant while we were getting brunch before a matinee for All the Way.

Not a bad seat in the house unless, of course a specific set design changes that. Its a great intimate space, and Cambridge is a sweet town, make sure you allow time to walk around.

Agree with the prior replies. We were there twice, for All the Way and for Witness Uganda, and the seating setup was different for each. We got a membership for the upcoming season and are looking forward to Neverland, etc, from up close.
