Just back from Hamilton and I sat in upper box G seat 1 and my friend was in upper box H seat 1. Both are on the right hand side. I took photos from both boxes so eventually I will have to figure out how to post those somewhere. From G (closer box), I had to do a lot of leaning over and resting my arms and elbows on the railing if I didn't want to be sitting back in my chair and peering through the rails. The leg room was great, and the chairs move around so you can get as close as you can within the box. I had a great view, but could obviously not see everything happening on the extreme right. From the upper box, I could see the tops of heads and the rotating stage, which was weird for me since I almost always sit in orchestra seats. I LOVED the show, but felt a bit far removed from the action. I felt like I was the only one clapping or laughing since there were just two others next to me. By the way, Seat 1 in the right boxes is better than either seats 2 or 3, in my opinion.
That said, it was an absolutely wonderful way to see the show with the original cast without breaking the bank, and I would do it again if that was the only way to afford it and I accepted going in that it would indeed be a partial view. My friend, going in completely blind to anything Hamilton related, loved the show from her seat in H. Would have loved to have had the lower boxes, but having asked my only NY friend to go the box office in October, getting two seats for one of only two possible dates in December was a miracle. I booked these travel dates 10 months ago, so they were set in stone. People we spoke with in NY did a double take when we would mention we had seen the show at all. They all wondered how in the world we got tickets!
