Sorry if this has been asked/answered, but I couldn't locate the info.

Wondering if anyone can comment on seeing the show from the front row and the front of the mezz here.  (I seem to remember the mezz feeling pretty far away.)   Is the stage high?  Is it too close?

 

Thanks in advance!

I can't comment on the view from those exact locations, but I did see the show from the 3rd row and the view was perfect. The stage might be a little bit high from the front row, but considering it's supposed to be an intimate one-man show, I would suggest front row over front mezz because you will likely lose the feeling of intimacy if you are far away and can see the whole massive stage. The whole "stuck working in a small, cramped basement" concept is probably less convincing from the mezz. If I were to venture a guess, I'd say the stage might be at nose or eye-level.

Nothing was obstructed from my seat, but I don't think you would miss anything in the front row either. He spends most of his time downstage or seated at a desk down/center stage, with just a bit of time on stage right and stage left.

Hope this helps!

I second mpkie's thoughts. I would want to be closer up to be able to see Jesse's facial expressions and keep that inmate feeling.

I sat 4th row extreme right orchestra and the view was fine, didn't miss a thing. I agree with the other posters as well! Being closer is definitely a plus for this show in particular.
