Evan Hansen Seating Question

I just got word that I will be in NYC during the June 1-4 weekend, and while I saw the show in DC, I believe I want to go ahead and buy tickets to see 'Dear Evan Hansen' again - this time with a friend of mine who has never been to NYC before and this would be his first show.

Anyway, as I have very limited knowledge of how seats are in Broadway houses, could someone advise me as to whether I should buy two front row Mezzanine tickets which would be on one of the side sections, or if it would be wiser to go for more centered seats in the Mezzanine, but they would be in the 2nd or 3rd row. (Or is it better to spring for Orchestra seats for this production?)

I'd greatly appreciate any advice. I usually love to get that first row of the Mezzanine, but as it would be on the side - I did wonder...

Thanks.

Go for Center Mezz row B or C

Personally, I'd go front row mezz....even on the side.

Hello everyone, I did not want to start a new thread so I am borrowing this one. Does anyone know if there has been any announcements of vacation (or when their contracts would be up) for any cast members, especially Ben Platt? I am extremely interested in booking my tickets for next year (my options are January, February, April or May), and was wondering if there was a particular month I should choose to better my chances of seeing this cast. Any help would be much appreciated!

I sat Mid-mezzanine and was completely fine. Honestly if you are in the mezzanine I would probably not pay to be closer to the front because the mezz in Broadway houses is so tiny. I always ask myself is this worth the extra $$$ and I think rare mezz in the Music Box is just as good of a seat as anywhere else in the house. I would always recommend sitting center.

In 2017? Everyone should still be there, it just opened. If you mean 2018, there is no way to know.



As to the vacation schedule, it's hard to say...no one is above the title here so t here less likelihood of it bring published too far in advance, if at all.

Can anyone report on view from the Box Seats offered? Is their better side?

Is the stage not disgustingly high for this production? I have the chance to sit Row A of the Center Orchestra for this... Do I not go for that? Now, I'm confused. LOL

Hmmm.



So, by that account, Row A is waaay too close?

My guess is Row A is too close. Depending on your height, you may not be able to see below the actors waist/knees.

I was in the back of the orchestra, and would NOT want to be int he first few rows. the stage itself is very high, especially the platform where more of the show is staged is even higher. Additionally there's lots of stuff going on all throughout the stage and words and projections that are easier to see all at once when you're back a little further. For this show, being up front isn't too great necessarily I don't think.

Thanks for the insight, guys.



Maybe Mezzanine, particularly front row, would be a bettemore desirable vantage point for this one?
