Help Needed for First Time to Show

Posted: 4/18/05 at 1:24am

I am coming to NYC soon and would like some advice on buying tickets. I'd like to see Julius Caesar. I've found what appear to be good tickets online, but can't decide between sitting on Row E in the center Orchestra section or sitting on Row A in the mezzanine. Any opinions or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I saw Ralph Fiennes as Hamlet there 9-10 years ago and I think that either seat would be good. Alot of theater goers prefer the 1st mezz. as to see the "whole Picture" but I love the excitment of being close in the orchestra. The balcony of the Belasco goes up really steep, really fast ( kind of like the Ambassador and New Amsterdam ) if I remember correctly, but I was several rows into the balcony and my seats were great (it's a smaller theater....)

For the bard, I would get as close as possible.
