Question: how good/ bad is Row M? Is there any bad seat in the theatre?

I was in P on tuesday and it was fine.

the space is small, and the pitch is decent, so overall sightlines are good. i'd be worried about being too close for this one; the front row may be a strain, and i'd be the oblique seats can't see everything.

but M is just dandy.

I've seen it twice, once from the next to last row and once from the fourth row. It's not a big house, but you would miss out on a lot of little fun details being really far back. Row M shouldn't be an issue, though.

M is a perfect seat. I sat a row in front and loved the view. There are a lot of people on stage at the same time with a lot going on. I wouldn't sit too close.

Oh crap! I'll be in the front row - never mind, I'll just pretend I'm in the show (maybe I should just turn up in costume and be done with - where can I get one of those big neck ruffs?)

I wouldn't worry about front row unless you are off to one side. It's close...but not high.

Can't wait to go again.

Being in the front allows you to take in the tons of funny things in the set- not to mention a ton of the really subtle things the actors do. From Row R, for example, I missed that Henry Clay had a ridiculous stoat stole that he would play with.

You missed that? Priceless.

Yeah, but I caught when I saw it again from the fourth row.

Bloody Bloody is, in my opinion, one of the most watchable new musicals in recent memory. I could go again and again and be entertained.

I agree. Best new show of the season as far as I'm concerned. Hoping to catch it again in June. And to buy the recording....hopefully it will be available by then.

John you'll be fine in the front row. I just think this show has some exquisite stage pictures and was really able to appreciate them fron a bit further back. You certainly aren't going to miss anything and I think you might get some interaction from the actors too.

I 3rd or 4th (or whatever number I am in saying so) that this is hands down the Best New Musical of the season. Truly original, dangerous, hilarious, and everything else that people are saying about it. I wish it a long and healthy life.

Sitting further back also allows you to get a better overview of what they've done to the house. Certainly keeps you interested before the lights dim.

Who's looking at the house once the show starts?

> Who's looking at the house once the show starts?

Actually, i did a couple of times ... some of the lighting effects carried were used on the design elements all the way through the house (and not just the obvious ones) -- i was curious, so i looked.

I did several times too. It's a true environmental piece of theatre.

Going Saturday and have no idea where I'm sitting.Will find out then.

How are the seats all the way off to the L side? I have the option of sitting in Row K all the way to the L side on the aisle. Will these be obstructed view? I don't remember the theater being too large to angled from "Road Show."
