Frozen Partial View Seats

Does anyone know why there are seats in the first row of center orchestra designated as "Partial View"? They're priced at about $79 and are situated directly adjacent to seats priced at $250+.

When the St. James mean partial view they mean partial view!!!

I sat in these seat earlier in the run and the set was obscured!

I can't remember exactly which seat I was Row L or M on Orchestra Right and I missed 30% of the stage. My friends seat Row G or H on Orchestra Left they missed significantly more than me.

I don't understand because the Stage is pretty much open most of the show. Most songs are performed down center. But the closer you are the more nudity you see. Ask the children about the butts. There are butt sightings and a plethora of butt jokes. For the kids, you know?

ORCHL D 13 or Row K 25

MEZZL C 29

BALCL B 1 or C 35

BALCR C 34

This will be my first time ever going to New York and seeing a Broadway show, so I'm super scared that I'll make a bad choice in seats!"

I think orchestra K 25 is your best option.

I saw it a couple of times in "partial view" areas in Denver. While the theaters are different I imagine the obstructed things are similar. Once time I sat on the right side, my right not the actor's, and the only thing I couldn't see very well was part of the sauna number opening act 2, but it was a small portion and worth the money I saved. I also couldn't see Caissie Levy at the very beginning of the coronation scene until she walked from the back of the stage to a little more center. Again, not huge deal and she hadn't started singing yet as she moves closer to center stage before beginning "Dangerous to Dream". Totally worth the savings. I also sat to the left once and couldn't see one of the children's beds very well which contains some ice effects. Not a huge deal though. I feel like those were the biggest things and it was because of the stage wall more than anything. It obviously could be different at St James since it's smaller than the Buell.

Agreed I’d sit in Row K 25

edit: I wouldn’trecommend the ones inRow B, they’re way further right and I imagine you’d run into a lot of issues there with the wood on the outside of the stage. I think Row A and then anything Row D and further back would be fine."

Row B isn't further to the side than C or D is by looking at the seating chart. The 5 seats in that row areright behind Row A."

the big problem in row b is the wooden outlay on the stage for Row B, I think it would cause problems for Row B but C and D would be better since it’s further back.

"

But rows C and D have more seats further to the sides so how would it be better?

TheCooler said: "thesmash said: "I think C and D would be fine since they’re further back and the angle would be improved. B is basically right in front of the wooden outlay. This is just my judgment from looking backwards. I would definitely avoid B though."

I am confused with what you mean as well. Row B is exactly behind row A, it hasthe same if not BETTER views because its further back. ROW C, is the problem, as it is significantly to the right or left of Rows A and B. please look at seating chart again, i think you have your rows mixed up."

The seating chart isn’t accurate looking at it, I can see why there’s confusion. Row B is further right than is reflected on the seating chart.

edit: Here's a picture on Instagram I found that reflects what I'm talking about
