Hi,

Thanks in advance.  How are the last few rows of the Music Box theatre?  Is the Mezz overhang distracting?  

THANKS!

Mid mezz also is very good at the music box. this is coming from someone who typically hates mezzanine seating. it is very good there, especially for shuffle along, over the rear orch i would say.

I sat in rear orchestra for Pippin and it wasn't bad at all. The only bad seats in that theatre are the first two or three rows of the orchestra.

I sat in the third frow of the orchestra on the far left side for Shuffle Along. It was a modified rush seat so i only paid $70. The view was not as bad as i thought it would be. The whole show is basically played center and the only thing you miss being up close is the feet of the dancers when they are far downstage.

Oddly, for the performance I can make, Mezz is almost sold out, so it's either Rear Orch or bust.  Just want to make sure the overhang isn't an issue!

The last two rows of the Music Box orchestra are great. O is slightly better than P. The reason is that there is a little step-up when you go from the aisle to your seat. The added height gives a perfect view over everyone's heads. You'll be happy there! I tried for those seats for Shuffle Along, but for some reason they weren't available.

 

As far as the overhang, it doesn't hamper your view. I saw Pippin from back there, and that show had a lot of aerial action way up high, and I could see everything perfectly.
