Anybody know how the Rear Mezzanine seats at the Neil Simon (for Hairspray) are? How about mezzanine at the Gershwin (for wicked)?

The Neil Simon is gootimate theatre seating just over 1400.

The Gershwin is an airplne hanger with seats. It is ugly and seats over 1900, so if you are in the back of the mezz, you feel it.

Does the Neil Simon STILL feel intimate all the way back in Row S in the Rear mezzanine? Good view of the stage?

Why would anyone want to sit in Rear Mezzanine? They are nose bleed seats.

The first time I saw Hairspray I was in the second to last row in the mezz and you can see everything just fine. I have seen show where you can't see anything this isn't one of them. I liked it just as much there as I did sitting in the last row of the Orch. You wont be disappointed you don't miss anything really just If you having seen it before be aware to look down to the right side of the stage in the audience a few times during the last scene and you wont miss anything.

As someone once told me during Gypsy ticket crisis, "it's not where you sit, all that matters is that you're seeing the show."

I saw Hairspray from rear mezzanine- Row R center, and it was a great view. You can see from anywhere- so get your butt over there and see the show!

BroadwayLady,

There are many of us who sit in the nosebleed seats because we choose not to pay almost $100/ticket to sit in the better ones. Binoculars help.

When I bought my tickets for Wicked, I didn't care that they were $100.00 a pop. I want to see the show and see it from the best place possible. Now if it weren't a show I was THAT interested in or so excited to see then I'd be fine in the bellfry.

Sorry, DP, I get nose bleeds. To each his own.
