Can you also please state where you sat in the show (general section) as I always think that affects the experience of the theatergoer (rear balcony vs center orchestra is a very different experience.)

I'm aware everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I find it hysterical someone would give on your feet a four and then Natasha a one.

[AC126748]

Posted: 3/1/17 at 8:44am

I prefer to use letter grades:

The Book of Mormon: C+ (fourth row center mezzanine)

Chicago: It's been a solid decade since I last saw it, so I don't think I can accurately grade it. When I last saw it (in April 2007, with Bebe appearing as Roxie) it was a B.

Dear Evan Hansen: A (seen multiple performances, locations ranging from fourth row center orchestra to last row of the mezzanine)

The Glass Menagerie: D+ (second row mezzanine)

Hamilton: B+ (second-to-last row mezzanine)

Jitney: B (front row mezzanine)

Kinky Boots: C- (mid-mezzanine, don't remember exact row)

Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812: B- (onstage seating)

The Present: A- (first row of the rear mezzanine)

Waitress: B+ (rear mezzanine, near the top)

Wicked: Again, have not seen the show since its first year on Broadway. Back then, I'd have given it a B+/B.

I definitely enjoyed On Your Feet much more than Comet.

The attraction of Comet is totally lost on me -- it's all style over substance, and I didn't even care for the style.  Other than getting a $200 plastic egg, it was a waste of a few hours.
