Lunt-Fontanne Seating Question#1

Posted: 3/9/08 at 4:13pm

I generally like to sit in the orchestra about 10 rows back in the center. I am able to get a ticket for The Little Mermaid that is orchestra right, row M, seat 20. Because this seat is at the end of the aisle against the wall, will I have a full view of the stage? What are your thoughts on this seat? Bottom line, should I go for it?

Thanks for your help!

Row O is the last row before the mezzanine overhang obstructs the view of the set, so you should be just fine in Row M.

Anyone have any other thoughts?

I would go for it. Have fun!

I would buy a ticket to a different show actually.

Have you seen it baddanpa? I've heard mixed reviews. I did have a great seat last November to see it and it was cancelled due to the strike.

I saw it today via Standing Room, so I only paid $25. If I had paid any more than that I would be really mad with myself. If you saw Tarzan, it's not much better then that. Go see In the Heights or Passing Strange.

Yes, I saw it this weekend. Saw Sunday In The Park and Little Mermaid. Talk about night and day. Sunday was thrilling, Mermaid was pretty lousy.

I really enjoyed Mermaid. Sherie Rene Scott as Ursula is worth the ticket price alone, but I thought the whole show was great. Hope you enjoy it! :)

I did not see Tarzan. I loved The Lion King and Aida but didn't care too much for Beauty and the Beast. Sherrie Rene Scott is one of the reasons why I want to see The Little Mermaid. It's just hard to justify spending $100 for a seat that I hope will be a full view of the stage and isn't at too extreme of an angle.

Sherie Rene Scott is the worst thing about MERMAID.

Mermaid is awful. As is Sherie. It's like Tarzan on wheels. Total chaos put to a better score. Why the hell did Beauty close for this GARBAGE?!

I don't remember anyone asking how the show was.... push wants to see the show... if someone can, just answer the question about the seats...

Ditto Act4ever.

I would buy the seat if it is your only option or try the front mezz center.

I would recommend front Mezz. as well if the Orch. ticket is not you're only option. Either way, enjoy the show :)

I say get a front mezz ticket. With a show that relies on set, its cool to see it from up above.

Thanks again for your responses. Keep them coming!

I know the Little Mermaid has recieved mixed reviews but I have been a fan of the movie since it originally came out in theaters. I just checked and there's no mezzanine seats for the date I was hoping to go.

If you are having trouble finding seats, I would just go with M 20.

I just ordered Orchestra row M, seat 20. Hopefully I will be able to see the entire stage.

Yankee, even though you might not like Spring Awakening you have to admit it's a million times better than Mermaid. Spring Awakening is brave, haunting, and amazing. Mermaid is junk, lousy, ugly-costume, junk...
