Looking for some seat advice. I'm looking at $160 vs $250 seats,  J10 for $160 and B104 for $250...is the price difference justified? (~$200 difference with fees if I add it up  for both parts )

I'm ok with an off center view as long as I can clearly see facial expressions, but then I'm thinking should i just shell out the extra cash to be up close and in the middle?

Is seat 10 in H-K rows too much to the right for it to be a good view?

Thanks!

I sat in B-112 and loved it. Up close and personal and favoring Prior’s scenes. B-104 is closer to Roy Cohn’s scenes.

I don't think I've ever had a better view from a seat in a theater than I did this week at Angels. Left orch, Row G, the seat on the aisle. The way the aisle/section curves means the person in front of you has zero chance of blocking your view. I felt like I was front row without the need to tennis-match my focus back and forth.

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!

My friend sat in one of those obstructed extreme side orch seats (house left) and he told me for the first act he couldn't see Nathan Lane at all. However, his voice is so good that he didn't need to see him during that first act.

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!

In the scene where the fire pops up from the stage, I was genuinely startled. And I could feel the heat from the fire. 

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.

Do you know where the seats are? I believe the closer you are the more obstructed. I don’t believe my seats were obstructed Bc I was back in Orch S seat 18, so I think you’d be fine around K or so and toward the center. If that’s the only seat you can get I’d take it. I saw it and loved it so much I’m making sure to see it before it ends. I prob will only see part one again, but who knows.

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.

If you can, see this show as closest and unobstructed as possible.  People who have seen this in the rear mezz are not getting the same experience as seeing it close up.  It's one of those shows that simply needs 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.
