HADESTOWN SEATING?- Page 2

I sat Center Orch row P seats 103 and 104 that I got at the last minute on stubhub this past Saturday matinee. They were absolutely phenomenal seats. While many are saying they think this show is best viewed from the mezz, I think it’s best viewed in center Orch. I do think mezz would be fine, though. And I think your seats off to the side would be just fine, too. You may not be able to see the violinist, trombonist, or cellist, but you should be able to see everything else as most of the action happens in the center.

Similarly, we sat in center orchestra Row N 110-111 and the view was phenomenal. I think I want to check it out from the front mezz next time just for a different perspective, but I’d highly recommend mid to rear orchestra for this show.

Sat on the opposite side (P20). Full view the whole time. Only thing I missed seeing was a member of the band.

Which seats would you guys recommend from these options?
1) further to the back but to the side (for example N23, N1
2) Closer but also to the side (for example H13, J13,K15)

3) Even closer but way to the side (D14, E14)

Also is house left or house right better?
Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

Saw it through TDF last night, Thursday, and sat row J, house right seat 4 (second seat off of the center aisle). Perfect view.

My biggest problem was the volume level. Wondering if if was as loud upstairs. My head was numb when i left and had a slight headache.

How is Mezzanine row A all the way to the side?  19 and 21. Worried about the box seats obstructing and leg space.

I've seen it from 5th row extreme side, Front row center and row ~p center orchestra. The row P were the best seats, the extreme side causes you to miss a bunch of little details...

So you didn’t see it from extreme side row A mezzanie?

Not Mezz, sorry. I've seen it from the Orchestra 3 times. I'd be concerned about the speakers in extreme side Mezz (same problem in extreme side Orch) but until someone posts to ViewFromMySeat I'm not 100% sure.

I saw it yesterday from extreme side row D mezzanine. Lottery seats. The view was totally fine, even surprisingly good. We were last two seats on the left, I think it was D23 and 25. The only thing missed from D25 was one of the musicians on the left. I also thought I'd miss Patrick Page entrance for  Build the Wall as I could see Amber Grey come from the right very easily....but then, they switched the staging from what I remember and Patrick came down the steps from the center of the stage (Amber entered as usual). The box seats were not in the way at all from Row D Mezz....

Also did not find leg room a problem. It is a great theater in terms of sight lines and leg room. I was much more uncomfortable in the orchestra of the Cort theater.

Last night my TDF seat was Mezz Row B 21, third seat from the extreme left. I was surprised how close it was to the stage, and I didn't really miss anything. 

However, during "wait for me" I didn't enjoy the staging as much as I did the last I saw the show (also TDF ticket Orch L 25). I think seeing it from the side kind of breaks the illusion they created. So if you can choose your own seat, then try to stay close to the center.

As the main source of agreement was sitting close to the center and not worrying about the overhang, that's what I did. Row Q, center orchestra. $159 a seat.

If I should have picked the mezzanine, I'll never know.

First time I saw the show I was on orchestra D 13 and that’s really extreme side, but close to the stage, and I thought “wait for me” was magnificent, even from a side view!

Saw it again tonight from side orchestra, but farther back and much closer to the aisle, “wait for me” was still beautiful, I’m not sure if it was the view or the performance, but there appeared to be less fog? Still one of the best parts of the show regardless...

I don’t usually bother contributing to these sorts of threads, but I just wanted to say I got tix through TDF, and we got house right mezzanine, row F, about 3 or 4 seats away from the far isle. As far as I could tell, the view was absolutely perfect. Before this, I had only ever sat in the orchestra of the The Kerr, so I was surprised at how intimate the theatre feels from the mezz! The sound was loud, but not in a way that I found irritating or distracting.

Only thing is that legroom was not ideal (I’m 5’10”). Aside from that though, this is one of my new favorite Broadway mezzanines!

Do you think it's worth paying $30 more to sit in mezz C rather than G? C is 159, G 129? I can't imagine the view being that much different. The overhang is pretty close to the stage.

One thing to look out for in the mezzanine is the higher rail at the end of the aisles. I sat in A2, and had to keep leaning one way or the other as the vertical bar was right in my sightline. 

I can't figure out how to embed this, but here's a photo: https://imgur.com/6ntyJLF

That's a pic of the mezzanine at the Belasco.

Here's my pic from mezzanine G 1, and I thought the view was pretty darn perfect:

I appreciate the info on this. I was debating between centre Orchestra P and far sides front Mezz. I decided to go with the centre Orchestra P based on what was said in this thread. I was tempted to go with the far sides from Mezz rows A or B (especially since the seats were right beside the premium seats) but was worried about the speakers and the concerns about not being able to appreciate the staging from the sides. Will update with my thoughts when I get back from my annual broadway blitz at the end of the month.

also thanks for this code. It still works. The code play1 no longer does.

I’m on Mezz . Row A. All the way on the side .

So I just noticed today that they have already started raising prices for shows in August. I want to get tickets before it’s too late. I am decided between 4 options:

MEZZR row A seat 10 for $159
MEZZC row C seat 107 for $159
ORCHR row R seat 1 for $135
MEZZR row E seat 2 for $129

Would obviously love to sit middle orchestra but I don’t want to spend over $200 which it is now. I am leaning towards MEZZR row A seat 10

Was in Orch L, 9 & 11. Great seats, but wouldnt go any further to the sides, as i fear you could feel cut off.

Im normally a big fan of the front mezz, but I do agree the spinning stage might have been too much up there.
