CURSED CHILD: A Question

Well, actually more like two...

Is the stage high for this production? I have a seat in Row B, on the aisle, in the orchestra, and want to make sure it was a smart buy ... compared to a seat in the dress circle. Any insight appreciated!

I sat in row A, center aisle, on Saturday and didn't feel like I missed a thing. You'll be fine. On two occasions, there is stuff you would get a better sense of from further back, but to be that close to the actors, definitely worth the trade-off...

I was in Row D in the orchestra and the view was FABULOUS. My only qualm was that I saw one or two "magic" wires that I'm sure I wouldn't have seen if I sat just a few rows back... but aside from those small moments, it was worth it being so close to such incredible performances. I'd say stick with your seat

Also, the center aisle seat in orchestra row B is unique because there's no seat directly in front of it. The center aisle seat in row A is indented, as you can see in this pic, row B being the 3rd row. It looks like an excellent choice.

I think Row B has more of a half seat in front of it, not the full width.

When  I saw the show I sat in row D which was perfect.  But, I noticed the people sitting in row A were awfully close to the stage (since there is no orchestra pit) and the stage looked awkwardly high; in fact, the person next to me commented that they would not want to sit in row A due to the height of the stage. I would think a sore neck would accompany anyone sitting in row A.

The first Row is AA, not A, and I think they are given out for $40, so for that price, a bit of a sore neck is OK. I don't think anyone really had an issue, though, the stage isn't that high.

I sat in AA this weekend. They rake the stage heavily the most downstage 5 feet. This greatly improves sight-lines for those in the front rows. I was shocked how great the view was from AA.
