Back row or restricted view for Moulin Rouge

Having seen it once from the orch and once from the front mezz, the front mezz is a FABULOUS view and arguably better than sitting downstairs. That's just one person's opinion and you'd still probably have a great experience downstairs.

I think it boils down your personality and personal preference. If you are someone who likes to feels immersed and close to the performers then sacrifice a sliver of view for a fun perspective close to the action.

If you really want to see the show framed as the designers intended and want to see the full artistic vision then sit in the mezz.

It's two very different experiences.

Restricted view Orchestra H 15-17 or back of mez? Same price of $99. The seat is right next to a non restricted view seat so not sure how bad they could be.

Looked it up online and the seat looks like fun. Just not sure if Id miss too much.

"A view from my seat" has a picture of the view from H-17- linkbelow.

Yeah I saw that which is why I am so tempted to scoop those up. But I can tell you'd miss some on the near side of the stage. I guess what I'm wondering is how MUCH would I miss with these partial view seats? They look so close and so much fun. And I'll be vacationing in NYC so I don't want to rely on lottery, I'd rather choose my seats now.

Unfortunately, I have not seen the show yet (seeing it in November) so I can't speak to that issue.

Did you like your seats in row P? There are seats right next to yours (P17 and 19)that are also in the lower price range.

WITHOUT QUESTION ---- if these seats became available at the price point you're comfortable with, BUY THEM before they are gone. Those are FANTASTIC SEATS, and a much better line of site than the two options you'd initially asked about

We sat middle of the mezzanine center Row J 112 & 113. The view of the front portion of the passerelle was blocked, as was the view of some of the action taking place on both sides of the orchestra seats off of the main stage. We weren't very happy, and we weren't even all the way at the rear of the mezzanine. I would agree with the other folks in this thread who recommended going with orchestra restricted view--at least you'll be up close.
