GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS To Play The Palace Starting 3/10/25 — Page 2

gibsons2 said: "Sauja said: "I think there's A LOT of unreasonable pricing this season, but $89 inclusive of fees for several rows of the mezzanine and $110 inclusive of fees for the far side orchestra doesn't seem too bad to me. Dorian Grey and Othello, to my eye, have the most blistering lowest-available-price tickets out there."

If anyone sat in thosefar side sections of the orchestra, can you please share your experience, whether the view can be really obstructed. I'm looking at those $110 seats and it's the most I can spend on this play. Debating whether I should just buy now or wait for a discount or try my luck with rush."

I've seen Tammy Faye and Ben Platt from that section and yes it's partial-view but actors were mostly center stage for both productions and so view as fine. Note that that section is quite comfortable since you sit in real standalone chairs! Yes chairs that you can pick up and move. When I watched Tammy Faye, they had cameras in both sides in that section so it's a good deal.

Definitely go front row mezz. It’s relatively low and you feel very close to the stage.

That second balcony MAY be marginally acceptable for a big musical, but would be terrible for a straight play or a small musical.  You would feel as if you are seeing the show from Hackensack.  Forget about even imagining what the faces look like from that far away.  
 

From a sight lines perspective (not factoring in comfort), I think the worst ‘cheap seating’ spaces on Broadway are the extreme rear mezzanine seats in the Gershwin and the Broadway, and the entire second balcony of the Palace (with a shoutout to the extreme side seats in the Winter Garden).

The only good balcony on Broadway is the Hudson

I specifically excluded (lack of) comfort as a factor…is that also worse than most from a sight lines perspective. Haven’t been to Studio 54 that much and most times in the orchestra via TKTS."


The seats will cut off any blood circulation to your brain rendering you blind for the majority of the performance so sight lines don’t really matter.

It doesn't exist to me either.

Ah the ole “A mezzanine is a balcony but a balcony isn’t a mezzanine” game. 

Seats in any Broadway balcony are meant for petite people only.

"

not if you are poor and tall."

SRO then...

The set better be giant or this is going to feel so off.

With 12 weeks, they have 800 seats on the floor they can price exorbitantly, plus another 550 in the mezz to play around with, depending on demand. It can potentially gross more than $2M a week there. I think the producer of GGR, who shall go nameless, looked at what is happening with Good Night, and Good Luck, and decided to try to emulate the same, even bringing capacity to a similarly sized 1400 seats by closing the balcony."

Why should the producer go nameless? It's public record. It's Jeffrey Richards. He produces ALL of Mamet's plays. It's on IBDB.COMhttps://www.ibdb.com/broadway-production/glengarry-glen-ross-541094"

 

You have been warned. I can't be held responsible if you say his name two more times.
