I am currently using TicketKing to get tickets for LOTR. So far, the best seats I could find for the date I want to attend is in Row AA, Seats 18-15. Here's a link to a seating chart: http://www.mirvish.com/SeatingCharts/pdf/POW/lotr_orch_Feb10.pdf

For those of you who have been to the Princess of Wales Theatre, are these seats too close for this kind of show? Will I miss any of the action if I am this close? Thanks!

EDIT: I had to buy tickets for Row BB, Seats 18-15. Are those any better?

Yes... row AA will be tooo close. The whole stage is a revolve that juts out over the orchestra pit and when it rises you probably won't see anything. (and it rises a lot!)

My seats were row K and they were excellent. Distance is very necessary for this show.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

i agree with frontrow, we were on the balcony and as far as we were, we caught everything and could see everything perfectly fine. you don't want to be too close for this show.

So are there any benefits by sitting in these seats, or did I make a big mistake?
