I think maybe besides “Wit”, this is the best I’ve ever seen Cynthia Nixon onstage. It was just a devastating evening of phenomenal acting, all around. Astounding to have seen Squibb in person on a two show day. Astounding that she has that stamina.

Retweet. Cynthia has really corned the “put-upon suburbanite family member” character and sharpened it to great dramatic effect here

General seating question. The extreme sides in orchestra are all listed as "restricted view" They're quite inexpensive actually. Has anyone had experience with the level of obstruction from that location?

Loved this the other night. This play has truly aged like a fine wine. The performances are across the board impeccable with Cynthia Nixon really walking away with the show. June Squibb is pitch perfect and Danny Burstein will break your heart. I was also impressed with Christopher Lowell in a challenging role. I thought there was a bit of “uncanny valley” in his performance. His voice and movement were very effective to me. As a fan of him in last year’s Cult of Love, this role is very different. The man has range.
The play itself is so effectively written and succinct. I like that it doesn’t become a “tech play” and it isn’t shoving anything down your throat. It’s a play about grief. Anne Kaufman’s directing style is so well-suited to this material and makes this play feel truly lived-in. Grab your tickets before the inevitable rave reviews.

Not a lot obstructions on the extreme sides but I would pick house right over house left.

Also, the mezzanine is good for this production. No obstructions on the sides and you dont miss anything
What a joy to see June Squibb on stage. She was so natural, funny, and gave a wonderful performance. I found the play to be a bit on the thinner side, though I still enjoyed it. I just watched A.I.: Artificial Intelligence a few weeks ago and thought it was a masterpiece. This felt like a bit of a retread of that story.
I can say with some certainty that the Hayes Theatre has the most uncomfortable seats on Broadway with the possible exception of the upper mezzanine at Studio 54. Torture, but at least it was short.

They really are spectacularly uncomfortable. You will get to rub elbows, shoulders, and perhaps thighs with the persons sitting next to you, if you're into that sort of thing.
I’m really not! A woman next to me was testing me with both her elbow and her obnoxiously loud gum chewing.
I couldn’t believe how much younger Cynthia Nixon looked in her wig!
