#1Mezzanine at the Gershwin?
Posted: 3/27/08 at 10:25am

Hi everyone! I would like your opinions for those of you who have had mezz seats (Gershwin, or even elsewhere if you want to weigh in). I've never sat in the mezzanine.

Rather than wait months to get decent seats (I didn't want to pay premium price, we did that last time) to see Wicked, I bought Row A Front Mezz seats for Wicked at the Gershwin. I have already seen it, but I am taking my mother and son. Are we going to be disappointed? What kind of view can I expect from these seats?

Ticketmaster said these overhang at Orch Row N but in reality they overhang at O. Only one row difference, but Ticketmaster should really update this information.

Thanks in advance!

Front row, front mezzanine at Wicked is an AMAZING seat.

Your seats should be fine! I hope you all enjoy the show!

I sat further back in the Mezz. for Sweeney Todd and I was fine.

I sat there and felt like I was sitting in another theatre. The stage was too far away.

Oh please, 3 feet isn't going to make a significant change!! I'd say anywhere in Front Mezz has an amazing view.

yeah, it doesnt make too much difference, but both letters are pretty far back compared to most theatres. The view will be awsome from the front row, but it is further back than most theatres have it. Maybe 'cause its just so big. Even the theatre in my hometown of columbus with 2,900 seats had it's balcony closer to the stage.

If you sit in the very back you will need oxygen.

Bandit, I had the pleasure of being in the theater you speak of years ago. Not much of a lobby but the auditorium will blow you away. One of Thomas Lamb's masterpieces & thank Mary Bishop in particular for her efforts.

I was in the mezz the first time I saw Wicked and thought it was a great seat. I could see everything and it didn't feel THAT far away. I felt much further away in the Dress Circle at the Hilton.

Oh good! It is Row A so I figured I would take those seats and go in April rather than months and months down the road for orchestra.

Coolkid, I realize 3 feet isn't really going to make a difference. I only mentioned that aside from my real question - how mezzanine seats in general are. I still think Ticketmaster should have the right info though.

Thanks!

It is the old Loew's Ohio in Columbus

Go to CinemaTreasures.com & type in the name. Another source is Theater Historical Society or just put in Loews Ohio.

From what I hear, the mezzanine at the Gershwin is fantasic!

I think that Row A of the Mezzanine is great at any Theater !!! Of course I'm a front Orchestra fan, so I could be wrong !
