I bought tickets for the November 11th show and got Orchestra center Row B on the aisle. I bought it without realizing that it was front row. How view from it and will I miss anything special?

Not to sound mean, but even if it was the second row as you thought, there is not much difference between the first and second row. So if you were concerned about missing anything, it would happen in the second row as well.

Sitting in the front row has its perks, but I hate craning my neck. Sorry, I don't know how high the stage is. It is an enormous set and sitting further back would have been better to admire everything.

But I know some theaters(such as the Hilton) start at the double letters and then start at the single letters.

All of the Disney shows have virtual seating charts available on their website so you can see what the view looks like from your section...

I know that but that section is row G so its like 6 rows back which makes a difference from the front row.

Yeah true.

I forgot about the virtual seating thing! It might be a little inaccurate because the closest view you get is from Row G.

Even so, I wish more shows had virtual seating charts. I use the Disney ones as a guideline for other shows on Broadway, even though I know seating varies among theaters.

That is the first row and IMHO it is too close. I called TM about this back when The Lion King was playing there and they changed my tickets.
