Hi there again!
I am supposed to be seeing this show either Wed or Thurs of this week (a theater friend is waiting for some comp'd tickets- the last set of comp'd tickets he got were for White Christmans Opening night -awesome!). The Orpheum is a theater that doesn't go too far back, like the Golden Gate does. I sat in the Orchestra, row C for Showboat and swore I'd never get that close again. They were cramped and TOO close. Neck pain just to see the actors and their nostrils!! I have some favorite seats there in the balcony. They are in the middle, but the last row (I know, It sounds far, but it isn't in the Orpheum). I try to get those every time. I have to pull out the tickets to the last show I saw there (Mamma Mia?) to see what they are.
