First time on the website since last fall's redesign. Do they really no longer show real-time availability by date for shows? So you essentially have to call and ask show by show, date by date?

Correct. Was told they’ll hopefully have it back to how it was before at a later date but for now you have to call.

Just saw the show this past weekend. Seats were front mezz, Row D, 113 & 114. That info comes with the caveat that these tickets were obtained many months ago.
I had these seats (not from audience rewards) and just swapped them out for audience rewards seats in orchestra (row O). I read too many things that people in front mezz couldn’t see some of the action with Audra at the front of the stage including at a pivotal moment of the show. Was that your experience?

I felt we had a pretty clean shot at the full stage. We may also have been lucky in that we didn't have any basketball players in front of us. :-) The only times that I recall we lost something due to the railing was when the actors moved onto the passerelle. I seem to recall the kids once, ditto the strippers, and perhaps a piece of the "pivotal moment" to which I think you're referring with Audra, but with a bit of sitting forward I felt like we saw what we wanted/needed to see. I guess it depends on where in the front mezz those reports were coming from, how tall the audience members were, etc.
