Another Richard Rogers Theatre / Hamilton seating question

I apologize in advance for yet another Richard Rogers Theatre / Hamilton seating question.

The only seat I can get for the day I will be in New York City within my price range for Hamilton is Orchestra Center, Row S, Seat 109.

I have been to the Richard Rogers Theatre for In The Heights and If/Then but sat much closer for both shows. Has anyone sat in Row S? Will the Mezzanine overhang obstruct any of my view?

Thanks for your help!

The RR has really great rear orchestra stadium-style seating so you'll be perfecy fine. I wouldn't pass on this!

Thanks so much for your very helpful responses. I just ordered my tickets!

Thanks again!

Row O and it's not close. O is a great seat because the rows rise back there, row B is too close

Just double checked and the night I want row O is showing as a regular seat. Think I'll book it once I get home. So excited!!

You're comparing premium seats to regular seats to begin with. And if you click the side seats in the front, the text that comes up on Ticketmaster says "Due to sight lines, the side of the stage you are on will be missed." Which I assume means further upstage...

Just bought my tix for April 29th. Row O seat 107 smack in the middle....paid more than I would have liked especially with the CDN dollar so low but still very excited!

I saw Hamilton yesterday from the very last row of the orchestra and was able to see everything, including the upper level of the stage. I would say as long as you're not of the height of an NBA center, you should be able to see everything from "partial view" seats.

Good to know about the last row in the orchestra theatremelvin94. I wish I was as tall as an NBA center! I'm not that tall so that won't be a problem.

macnyc, I was looking at orchestra, row E, third seat in from the aisle but was concerned that some of the stage would be obstructed.

I sat in Row G on the far left aisle last week. I couldn't see people when they were on the stairway on the left side of the stage. It was only a couple of times that I couldn't see someone doing/singing something significant. There were also times when the character who was the focus of the scene was blocked by dancers, but everyone is moving around a lot so those moments were brief. Personally, it was well worth it to be that close to the stage and able to see Leslie Odom's subtle performance and the tears on Philippa Soo's face at the end. The only other way I'll ever be that close again is if I win the lotto because I can't afford premium seats. On the other hand, the far side seats don't offer a good view of the staging, lighting, and choreography, which you can see very well from rear orchestra. I suspect the best non-premium seats are front mezz, but I haven't sat there (yet).

@Mariel9 thank you so much for your very detailed response to that question about the views from the sides from the closer rows! I could not agree with you more about all the wonderful nuance the actors put into their performances, and that is the one thing I have missed the most in the move to the larger venue from the Public.I saw the show in previews from the rear mezz and appreciated the big picture and especially the scenery, lighting and staging from up there, but I missed the little details of the performances so much.

I have been thinking about buying a couple on the right in the first five rows the next time I go, as opposed to rear orchestra, because I definitely don't want to miss Renee's performance during the first part of Take A Break when she's seated on the stairs but I can't think of anything toooooo significant that happens on the right side of the stage that I might miss. Maybe Anthony Ramos' performance in the Story of Tonight reprise? Hmm.

How is orchestra row E seat 24? A ticket popped up for the end of January so I splurged...

Hey guys, how are rows T and U in the orchestra? They are the last ones before it says "partial view" but with being only a row or so down from those seats I wanted to know how that would be. And if anyone has sat on the extreme sides in those rows let me know. Thanks a lot. I know there have been a million Hamilton seating questions.
