Best Row For Streetcar? B or G?

Which row would be better to see Streetcar at the Roundabout Studio 54 theater? Row B or G (both center orchestra)

Thanks, appreciate your input as to view, sound, etc.

There is a difference of 5 rows. Do you really need counseling on your decision?

I haven't been to Studio 54 yet so I was hoping for input from those who have already seen this production as to whether up close or further back was better for this particular theater and show.

There was a recent thread where different people had various opinions about loving/hating the front row based on the actual theater but Studio 54 wasnt mentioned, so I saw no harm in my thread asking specifically about this show/theater.

Take G. And how did you snag seats in the center orchestra? I've been trying for May 6th and all the tickets are far side!

Thanks Michael for your input. The tickets are for July 2nd. They are an anniversary gift from my husband and he asked what row I preferred.

I hope you will be successful getting good seats for May 6th.

yeah I want to catch this show before it closes. better to see up close or farther back? there was a good thread on which theater it was better to sit up close or further back but I dont remember them mentioning this one. it would be useful to know when buying tickets.

The best row might be right in your living room as you view the the DVD/VHS copy of the Kazan-Brando-Leigh-Stanley-Malden film, from all I've read.

What I didn't like about some of the reviews is that they seem to compare this production to how close (or not) it is to the movie, especially when stating how "un-Brando" Reilly is in the part. Personally this is one of the factors that makes me look forward to seeing the play to get this different perspective. One more point on this from what I've heard from people who have already attended the play, is that the rape scene seems to be clearly about "destruction" and not about "seduction" as was suggested by someone in a literature class I took in college. He said that because Blanche was attracted on some level to Stanley that she subconsciously wanted to be raped. Needless to say, I found this interpretation to be very disturbing.

I appreciated the point of view given by Robbiej, Melissa and MargoChanning in their reviews because they seemed more objectively based on the play itself, rather than a certain "mold" to follow regarding the casting and presentation.

I take it row NN of the mezz isn't ideal seating for this one! re: Best Row For Streetcar? B or G? *sigh* Sucks to be poor!

No Madame X, I didnt. I just got one email from someone else who felt that it might be a little difficult to see from the B Row, a scene where Blanche is smoking a cigarette on the balcony.

odd. I just sent you a PM w/ what I wrote, but I have a feeling you have your answer already.
