Come From Away First Row - view ok?

Apologies if this appears elsewhere; I did my best to search but could not find this exact question addressed.

I'm coming to NYC in October and plan to see Come From Away. I just looked on Telecharge and there are front row/center section tickets available for $59 ($70 with fees). This seems suspiciously low to me, and I'm wondering if it's because the stage is very high, or has zero leg room, or some other reason that would make sitting there unpleasant. I am 5ft 6in. Would I be craning my neck the entire time? I've sat front row for other shows and it's been fine, but I know every stage/theater is different.

Has anyone sat front row center for this show? If so, how was your seat/view?

Thanks so much!

I've seen it twice, but never from the first row, so I can't speak from experience with those specific seats. However, I will say that it seems to me like it would be fantastic from that vantage point. Barring any stage height issues, it's a show where close-up would be good.

I have sat front row twice before and I am shorter than you and I had 0 problems!

My wife and daughter sat in the third row, I think, (whichever row is just in front of the premium seats) and had a great time with no issues and they are shorter in stature.

I sat in the front row, till the show started and was completely fine, great view. I ended up moving a few rows back since im 6’1 and felt bad that I was blocking peoples views behind me. Good thing I got the tickets for cheap! have fun!

Front row center is perfect!  No conductor blocking you.  I also like the center aisle seat for spilling over.

FWIW, I saw this from the front row (basically center) - and I'm also shorter than you and had no problems whatsoever, I don't think I missed anything.  Enjoy.
