Mezzanine at St. James

I'm participating in the Audience Rewards pre-sale of Something Rotten, and right now, I'm only being offered the Mezzanine (all the orchestra seats are dark for the date I'm looking at, April 30th.)

How is the front row Mezzanine at the theater? I'm looking at the Mezzanine Right front row.

Thanks in advance for any information.

The front mezz is great at the St James

A friend of mine sat in the front row of the Mezz for SIDE SHOW and said it was the best seat he had had going to shows in that theater.

I sat 3 rows back, house left, 2nd seat in for "Bring It On" and had a perfect view.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Got my seat, so I am locked in for all 7 shows I'll be seeing in late April/early May. Now the waiting begins!

I sat in row N of the mezzanine when I saw Bullets. It was a PERFECT view! Enjoy!

Great view but I always find the seating anywhere in that theater uncomfortably tight and cramped...sat last time for Side Show center mezz row B 101 on the aisle helped out a bit with leg room

I was lucky enough to get front-center Mezz seats for "Side Show" through TDF, and they were phenomenal. Have a great time!

Bruce is right. I just sat there twice for SIDE SHOW, row B and row D, and the seats were superb, both slightly off-center but wonderful. Since I'm 6' tall, it wasn't entirely comfortable, but I sacrifice comfort for sightlines. It's one of the best mezz's in NYC, because you feel so close. (I would never sit in the mezz at the Gershwin or Minskoff, which remind me of the upper tiers at the Metropolitan Opera House.)

I'm looking at the map, and I don't see a Mezz Row N. It's showing me it only goes to Row L...

Saw Bullets Over Broadway from the front of the mezzanine and thought the seats and sight lines were great. I'm just shy of 6'3" and the knee situation wasn't horrible. At least, not nearly as bad as the Walter Kerr.

I've been sitting front row mezzanine at the St. James since I saw Hello, Dolly from there. The Producers, Side Show, Gypsy, Bullets Over Broadway, A Funny Thing Happened. . . God knows how many others.

My favorite seats in that theatre -- and I don't mind the side section in the least.

Whoops - brought back up an old existing thread cause I didn't want to start a new one but this one was here all along!

Let me ask here: how is the front balcony vs. rear mezz for the St. James?

So row N mezz isn't that terrible?
Have Mezz Row N seats 31,33 for "Something Rotten"
They were only $15.95 so can't complain if they suck.

JBradshaw: I sat in I think L for Side Show in the rear Mezz and the view was fine. I did bring binoculars(yeah...) but they weren't really necessary. As "cheap seats" go, St. James' aren't bad at all.
