Angels in America seating — Page 4

Hi, so I’m looking to purchase a ticket for one of the remaining shows and I was just wondering how any of the partial view seats were. Like how obstructed are we talking about here?

thanks for the help!

I’m home now from my NYC trip and a bit sad it’s over, but I will forever cherish seeing Angels in America so close up last Wednesday. It was my favorite of the eight productions I saw on my trip. Thanks for the seating advice!

The legroom was fine due to the frequent intermissions. In fact, during Part 1 the aisle seat was unoccupied so I was able to move over to it during the first intermission. I know that seat showed as not available when I purchased so unless someone switched seats for another performance, someone spent a lot of money for a seat they didn’t sit in.

Update: I loved this production so much that I actually seriously contemplated extending my stay so I could see both parts again today. Financial considerations prevented that. I was actually sad today when I realized that I would have been sitting in the theatre today if I had stayed. To give you reference on how much I loved this, I have never previously considered extending a trip to see a production a second time. Those eight hours of theater just sailed by.

I sat in G 13. It was only very slightly obstructed. I didn't notice it at all. Only a tiny sliver of the side of the set wasn't visible, and I never couldn't see the actors. My friend in G 15 was a little more obstructed, but she didn't think it was bad. For example, when Nathan Lane was standing all the way to the very side of the stage, she could see only his arm and not his body or head. The person in G17 kept leaning way over looking annoyed and left during first intermission to never return. So I'm assuming that seat is very obstructed.

We did get really lucky and ended up only being in those seats until the first intermission of Millennium. There were a lot of side section seats not sold that Saturday, and many people including us got to move over into really awesome, non-obstructed seats. I can't imagine any of the show would have had more than a very slight obstruction from G13 though. The box office told us the farther back you are in the theater with the partial view, the less obstructed they are.

It's one of those shows that simply need to be seen close up. Everyone I have talked to about it has agreed, and a lot of people seem to agree on this thread as well. I get it's a matter of cost most of the time, but if you can, do it."

I agree. I might regret some of my purchases while in NYC, but i will be eternally grateful for seeing Angels in America so close up.
