Introduction and BULLETS question

[Midnight Radio2]

Hello!
My name is Anthony! I'm a current high school student and I just made an account. This is my first post and I can't wait to become a part of the community.

Now onto my question,
I just purchased tickets for BULLETS on it's closing night (also my Birthday)! I will be sitting in row A of the balcony on the right side (1 seat from the aisle). I've read previous reports on these seats, but were wondering what they were like for this specific show? Any report would be appreciated!

Thanks!
-Anthony

Anthony, sorry you had to encounter Stevie3 one of our resident trolls on your first day here. He lives in a cave and only comes out to say stupid s**t a few times a year. Please ignore him. I'm sure someone with specific knowledge of the seats will answer your question.

Your seat should be fine.

Stevie - I can't even begin to count how many things show your ignorance in your post.
I'll just give you one: BUPKIS

It would seem difficult for them to screw up the view from the front row of a section, no?!

That said, I do know that in many performances they moved the balcony people down to the mezz, so it may be harder to find people who were up there, although they do exist.

One imagines they will be able to fill the house on closing(?!), so you'll probably not get upgraded...

BULLETS OVER BROADWAY uses a lot of wide open spaces for scenic design, so nothing will be blocked. You have a pretty good seat and most in the Saint James are decent enough. There shouldn't be any vision problems, and the front row will give you more legroom.

Anthony I know nothing about that theatre but as a relatively new member I welcome you and love your theater joy that comes thru my screen.
You will encounter many on here that will cause you grief but the majority are just so learned and are willing to share their love of all things entertainment.
Read, learn and contribute-it IS a wonderful world.

Stevie meant what he said.

Dick Butkis usually sits in the back of the Orchestra so you won't see him from the Balcony

Welcome,

I sat in the last row in the balcony on opening night. You feel like you are 8 stories up and the stage is very far away but you can still see everything just fine. The only problem with the balcony is the guard rails located in the front that can obstruct the view but I think you will be fine in row A. Even from the nose-bleeds I thoroughly enjoyed this show so have fun.

I sat front row Balcony aisle seat during previews and do not remember having a problem with the seat, I think you'll be fine! Have fun!

Bring binoculars and you'll be fine! This isn't meant facetiously at all-- we bring a little pair to practically every show we see. It's amazing the detail that's jammed into every costume, set piece and actor's face. Why miss any of it?

Serious question: Do you use any specific type of binoculars?

^Good question! (I'm a neanderthal on all things technical.)

The brandname on 'em is BARSKA. 8x21. Inside it says: 383ft/1000yds. 128M/1000M. Does that mean anything to anyone?
