Hey, I'm seeing Side Orchestra Row B and Row M tickets to Hello, Dolly each one seat 2. They don't say limited view but I imagine it's not great. Any experiences with side orch or front row side orch at the Nederlander? Also, it looks like Tuesday is Donna Murphy's first time in for Bette. I'm wondering if there might be same day cancellations for better seats. Thoughts?

As mentioned on countless others threads asking about obstructed view to HELLO, DOLLY! - the only sequence in the musical that you will encounter partial views in during the Harmonia Gardens scenes due to the curtained private dinner room sets on either side of the stage. You won't be able to view the scenes taking place inside the curtained private dinner room set on your side but you will see fully into the one opposite you. I suggest sitting furthest back from the stage as your view will open up more as you get further back.
I don't expect there to be a cancellation line situation for performances with Donna Murphy as seats are quite easy to obtain. Cancellation lines exist when there are sold-out performances and people are hoping to get tickets this way. This isn't the case of HELLO, DOLLY! with Donna Murphy.

At the Nederlander, the front side seats are a great view!

First, seat 2 is on the inner aisle of the right orchestra, so those are both great full view seats. It's the higher numbered seats that you have to worry about. Second, HELLO, DOLLY! is at the Shubert, not the Nederlander.

Thanks everyone! I slipped and said Nederlander because I had also been considering War Paint. When I went to the Shubert box office, they had row J seat 1 so I went for that. Seeing it Tuesday!
