Kinky Boots- Front Row Orch?

I've looked at several threads discussing Kinky Boots seating, but haven't found anyone talking specifically about the very front row of the orchestra section. Has anyone sat there for Kinky Boots? I see "full view" seats in the front row are available for $175, while seats a couple rows back are $199. Are there any obvious problems with the front row, aside from the obvious pros/cons of being that close? Is an average-height person going to be able to see over the edge of the stage? Is there a normal amount of leg room? Any other obvious problems?

Thanks in advance!

I sat there once..it's not a BAD seat. In some theaters, the stage is really tall - so for example, when I saw Annie from the front row, I could barely see the dog and much of the dancing. Also, my friend just said she had front row at Something Rotten, and missed the tap dancing as she couldn't see any feet. I didn't find that problem here. I think the leg room is similar to the regular seats - or slightly better than some.

That said, you have more depth perception from a few rows back so for a first time viewer, I can see why those seats would be preferable. You do get a good view of the orchestra from the front row if that is of any interest to you.

It's all really subjective. I would ALWAYS prefer to be front row, center for any show. I sat front row, center section, on the left aisle for KINKY BOOTS and thought it was an AMAZING seat. I didn't feel like a missed anything at all and enjoyed getting to see the faces perfectly. But, I have friends who prefer front row mezzanine to get a look at the "whole picture" as they call it. I see the whole picture, I just have to turn my head a little. LOL!!! Again, it's all what your personal preference is.

How are the extreme sides of the orchestra at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre? How far back would you recommend for an optimal view of the stage?

It was a little close to all of the “body parts” but all in all a fabulous front row."

What do you mean by "body parts"? I haven't watch the show so this may be going right over my head or do you mean that the theatre seats are cramped?

When reading this thread, I didn't realize I was responding to something that was 3 years old.

As far as extreme sides go, I've also sat in the box and had a fabulous view.
