Hi Everyone!
I'm going to the new Les Miz tour next month in Chicago and have the option to get a ticket in row B or row T. For those who have seen the new tour, is it best to sit back or would up close be okay?

Depends on how high the stage is there. I've never been to that venue. If it's not too high, I'd go for being up close- it's very intense from that vantage point and well worth it.

I saw it in Philly from the last row of the orchestra, so it was great to have a full view of the stage, but I think you should go closer so the intensity of the show completely washes over you.

Go close, I'd say! Even if you have to crane your neck a bit, facial expressions in that show add so much, you'd have an amazing experience.

I will always see Les Mis from a close orchestra seat. The acting is usually very studied and it's an incredible show to see from close up.

I would buy the closer seats, as far as I remember the stage at the Cadillac Palace Theater isn't high up like the one at the Bank of America Theater is.
