Telecharge is offering far sides against the wall for Kinky Boots performances I am looking at. How are the views? It has second and third row all the way up to middle orchestra-all against the wall.

Are these views obstructed?

I saw it sitting in the first row the front mezz one time which is the best seat in the house IMO. But then again, two of us sat on the last seat side on the size in row M/N in the rear mezz and it was perfectly fine - no obstructed views at all and really close. It's really a pretty small theater....

Does that help?

Thanks Kathy. I'm wondering how the far sides are in the orchestra. I think mezz might have a better view.

I just realized the far side orchestra are being sold as partial view-so can anyone tell me how partial the view is?

I cant believe they are charging $107 for partial view ($120 after fees). Ticket prices are insane.

If you sit on the far sides of the orchestra, especially the first several rows. you will miss a good deal of the factory set. I had been in a rush seat in row F or G and moved back to an empty seat several rows behind--much better view.

I personally think this is a show for the mezzanine.First of all, it's such a small theater that the mezz is practically on top of the stage and there are a couple of dance numbers that look great from being up. I can't imagine watching the closing number from act one without being in the mezz. Plus the mezz is angled well - no heads to block your view.

Far sides in orchestra are fine. I got rush tickets and they were side orchestra and we saw everything except for a couple of the entrances from the back of the stage. They're worth it for the lower price.

I sat in the boxes which is to the farthest side and I was fine.

My, admittedly biased, 2 cents, FWIW: as with Motown, The Musical, Kinky Boots is as much an audio experience as it is a visual one. Given that the Hirschfeld is so shallow, I think you'd be better served by seats further closer to the center. I sat on the house right side 4 seats from the center aisle in the lower orchestra and, although I understood the limitations, I would have preferred center seats further back, even in the balcony.

IMHO, in shallow theaters like this the first two rows of the balcony are the best seats in the house, given the rake and the close proximity to the stage.
