GYPSY Seating Clarification

Hey All -

So, as expected, I'm very curious as to where the hell I'm actually sitting at the St. James. With varied reports, each conflicting the other, C-ORCH, Row B is WHAT row exactly? I know from previous threads that I'm not the only one asking around. I only ask because I spent good money, and I want my money's worth (visually-speaking). How are the sightlines, etc., etc.? Any and all insight appreciated, as always. Thanks!

Best,
- Mike

Centre (C) Orchestra Row B is the second row.

Nope, Center ORCH goes as follows
1st row-BB
2nd row-A
3rd row-B
etc, etc, etc

Side sections start with row A

Ry, y'think I'll be 'okay' with my vision, and y'know, 'taking-in the show' as a whole ... Having spent "X" on Patti, I want to be able to see the damn woman. LoL

I was sitting on row F, and it was exactly 6 rows from the first.

Maybe I didn't watch Sesame Street enough...

LoL - blaxx, you're too good.

If anyone else can clear this up, yeah, that would be great.

Blaxx,

How was your view from row F? I'm in row H in a couple of weeks.

I was there with Ryan tonight, and we saw Norn (Hi Norn!).

Ryan and I specifically checked on the front row letter situation.

CENTER: Front row is BB, followed by A, B, and so on.

SIDE: Front row is A, followed by B, C, and so on.

If you're in the center section, you'll be just fine.

It's just that, whoever built that theater had no notion that the people sitting on the left and right sections were there to watch the same play!

Eek! Foster is right, it was row E.

I still blame it all on Sesame Street..they never showed me that the first letter of the alphabet was BB.

YAY YAY! I have C-ORCH / B / 109-110 for May 27th.
EXTREMELY EXCITED -- Here's hoping the sightline's halfway decent. Haha! Thanks so, so, SO MUCH Foster (and Ry)!

I sat front row Center (BB) March 4. I could see most everything fine, i could see bottom of knees and up (maybe they had cool shoes on?...). The stage is built to extend out over orchestra (orchestra onstage). The sight lines shouldn't be a problem for this show because there are no set pieces that come very far past the proscenium.

I knew some of the songs going in and very brief knowledge about the show, and I loved it, and it was worth it just for Patti. yay for RI College grads on Broadway! (Beckley Andrews! :) )
