Hedwig ticket question

Heading back for a theatre binge in Nov and would like to see Hedwig again with Michael C Hall. Saw it with Neil.....I can't make up my mind where to sit! Part of me says only spend $49 and sit in the rear of balcony, but it's Dexter on stage! Got to see this! What would be a good recommendation? I am not paying $200 for premium....is the back of the orchestra decent?

"Dexter on stage" Isn't that Sweeney Todd?

I haven't sat in the rear orchestra, so I can't help you there. But definitely avoid the side orchestra. Those are definitely partial view, but not marked as such. A ripoff.

Rear center orchestra is just fine if you jump on it at a regular price.

I sat in the rear orchestra and it was a great view

Hope I didn't mess up. I finally opted to buy mezz center, two rows from back of mezz. Saved $30. I looked at a pic of the theatre seats (from the stage, looking into audience) I found on internet last night. Really appeared to be a huge difference between balcony and mezz. Opted to meet in the middle and go for $69 tic. I seriously am mind blown thinking Dexter is going to be Hedwig. Can't wait! Thanks for all the advice!

"I haven't sat in the rear orchestra, so I can't help you there. But definitely avoid the side orchestra. Those are definitely partial view, but not marked as such. A ripoff."

Side orchestra seats are most certainly marked as partial view--I actually thought the partial view warnings were a little excessive when I bought my tickets. And I believe they were listed as partial on the tickets themselves, too. My boyfriend and I were in row D, seats 11 and 13 (the two farthest to the side). It wasn't ideal, but they were the only two seats left that were next to each other (aside from premium) when I bought the tickets. I had already seen it from the balcony, and I'm glad I saw it that way first, where I didn't miss anything except Neil going into the audience during "Sugar Daddy." For a second viewing, I was more than okay with being close to the stage but missing a few things. We couldn't see the drummer or the projections at the back of the stage at all. The projections on the scrim during "Origin of Love" still looked great from the side, though. If you've already seen the show and just want to be close without paying for premium seats, I think the side orchestra is just fine.

How high is the stage? I'm going back to see Andrew may be able to swing first row center orch, but can't recall how high it is. I may just go with it since I've already seen it and gotten the whole experience, but any thoughts?

taboo-the front row is excellent for this. You'll be fine. (I'm short and sat 2nd row-it was great.)

Thanks, dreaming!

I sat in the 4th row and I remember the stage was moderate in height, not nice and low but also not high like Pippen or the St. James. I think the front row will be fine as well. And maybe you will get kissed, spit on, or dry humped by Andrew.

I'm going on the 23rd, and got the 1st row aisle - here's hoping JPeterman!

I'll second, or third, what others have said about rear center orchestra. I sat in the last row of the orchestra in row Q (right in front of all the standing room seats) when Neil was in it and it was a great view. It's a pretty small theatre so you still feel very close to the action from the last row of the orch. Face value price at those seats isn't too crazy either.

I'm seeing Andrew in the show soon. My seats are Row BB seat 3 Left Orchestra. How is the view from there? Is the stage high?

You'll have a fine view from there.
