Dear Evan Hansen seating options — Page 2

I recently managed to grab right orchestra row F, seats 18-20, for a late August performance. These tickets just showed up on Telecharge out of the blue. Being the last seats at the far end of the row, does anyone know if we'll have an obstructed view? I've read the earlier posts in this thread and some have mentioned problems with the first couple of rows, but my seats are in row F.

The tickets were priced at $199 each, which is less than half the price of the other seats that are currently showing up at the last minute (seems like everything has been $450 lately). I'm trying to decide whether I should keep watching for something more central (and obviously much more expensive) to become available, or keep what I have because the added cost would be so substantial. Any thoughts on whether it would be worth the money to move closer in? I've seen the show once before, but my husband has not.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! If you'd had the opportunity to upgrade to center orchestra, would you have done it (given the cost differential)?

Thanks!

I sat in orchestra side row M seats 13-15 and the seats were amazing. I think your seats will be great!

I have tickets for Mezzanine Row A, seats 24 and 26 marked partial view (all the way to the right), I believe because of the sound system in the right box. This is our first time seeing the show and they're the only tickets I could get so I'm just wondering if anyone knows how partial the view is? We wayyyy overpaid for these seats (grrr Stubhub), so I'm just trying to set my expectations. Sorry if this particular question has already been asked/answered!



" I second this person's question because I recently bought tickets for those exact seats on August 20th!

Last month I was lucky enough to purchase a ticket for the November 8th 8:00 p.m. performance. My seat is Mezzanine Row C, Seat 12. Good seat?

Also, what should I expect in regards to legroom? I'm a tall guy who sometimes suffers from knee pain especially after walking all over NYC. I actually cried from knee pain when I saw the last revival of Cabaret - ticket bought at TKTS - I was in the Balcony I believe. I actually had to get up during the first act and stand at the entryway. I hated to do that and disrupt others' momentary enjoyment of the show, but I couldn't tolerate the pain one more minute. During intermission the ushers were able to secure me an aisle seat for the remainder of the show. I had a similar experience during Hamilton when I saw it two years ago. Paid through the nose (although now those prices seem almost reasonable) through hotel concierge for nosebleed seats in balcony with almost zero legroom. I toughed it out and despite the discomfort, Ham remains my favorite Broadway experience. So I know I'll enjoy DEH regardless, but would like to know what to expect regarding this seating area's view and legroom. I usually try to get aisle seats but it's not always feasible. I saw Pippin at this theater. I don't recall it being an aisle seat, but was in the orchestra and don't recall any problems with legroom.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

Thanks! That sounds like a great option if it comes to that. I know I'll have a fantastic time either way. Thanks again!

It's a great seat. occasionally the bed will block Ben's face, and you have to look up all the time. you can't see the screens that well, but otherwise it's great A lot of the action takes place right in front of you

I sat in that exact seat when I saw the show during previews. Back then, it wasn't sold as a partial view, but I got it for 50% off at TKTS, so I couldn't complain. That being said, the stage is high, and the front row is very close to it, so you'll be looking up the entire time. I don't remember missing anything significant, since just about all of the action and dialogue takes place downstage, but I couldn't see the actors' feet unless they were at the lip of the stage, and anything going on towards the rear of the stage was pretty much lost. Even though it was great to see Ben Platt's physical performance up close, I wouldn't want to sit there again. It's just too uncomfortable.

Does anyone know anything about mezzanine row B stage right, seats 26-28? They are marked as partial view.

I'll be in NY in the next few weeks and was surprised with tickets to the show. I was given a choice between right orch k8 and right mezz b10. They sound about the same distance apart since the mezz at row j. So, do I want to look more direct at the stage or view it from above which I hear gives a better overall view of the projections and the show? This is will the first and probably only time I see the show unless I see it on tour someday.

Anyone have some advice or comments?

Hi all! I know all seats are great, but can I ask for your advice? I have the following options:
ORCH Rows G-L 10-12 are all available (an odd stripe of seats - any reason for that?). Or MEZZ A6-8 or MEZZ A5-7. Thank you all for your great advice!!!

Thanks - because I'm short! :)
