So I saw this last night, and I thought it was a really cool experience. They lost me a little bit in act 3, but otherwise I was completely riveted the whole time. The whole evening flew by really fast for me. All the actors and the design team really worked their magic.
I wanted to post about my seat, because I thought it might be a good things for others to know: I sat in row N of the orchestra, which was a row of free-standing chairs (i.e actual chairs, not normal theatre seats) in front of the "rear orchestra" section. Some of the chairs in this row cost $60 because they are marked as "partial view," but there was nothing about this seat that was partial view; I could see everything perfectly (why they marked it that way is a mystery to me, but it worked in my favor). The seats are comfortable, with all the leg-room in the world, and cost significantly less than most of the other seats in the theatre, without any obstruction of view to deal with. The front row is expensive, and I've heard the gallery is uncomfortable, so for a 5-hour play (the curtain call ended at about 11:55), I really think this row is the best way to go if you can nab one of these seats.
Wow, that was long-winded. Sorry. I never thought I could be so excited about a seat in a theatre.
