Nederlander Mezz question

I mean its a small theater so I don't think its that high- but personally I have never been up there. I am more concerned with is it really worth 500 dollars to sit in the rear mezz? I mean thats a lot of money... ah such a dilemma

---

The benefit concert isnt being held at the Nederlander, its happening at the New York Theatre Workshop.

---

It's not so bad, nothing like the palace's balcony or anything. I personally think the view is better than in the orchestra, not that that's relevant to your question . Honestly, the scariest thing up there is the barely plaster patched ceiling.

---

Like others have said, it's not bad at all. I have a fear of heights and it didn't bother me. That said, the leg room (at least where I sat) was lacking (and I'm tiny!).

It IS at the Nederlander.

---

No, the concert is at the Nederlander. The reason the info is on the NYTW site is that they're getting part of the money raised, and obviously, because of their ties to Rent.

btw- I am a SHE!!! :-P and it is at the Nederlander... but I guess anyone could have made that mistake (about the show- not my gender lol)... btw.. that website info is REALLY old- if you want more updated info here is the site: http://www.nytw.org/rent_benefit.asp

I figured that- but 500 is SO much money... i keep going back and forth... i wish someone could make this decision for me lol
it wouldnt be so bad if just the other day my sister and I hadnt paid premium prices to get tickets for megan hilty's last performance in Wicked... ahhh

I am for once grateful for my short legs.

Let's do it this way; if you had to compare the height to that at another theatre, what would you say? I know they're not bad seats, the view is fine, etc. (I also realize that this is a dumb question.)

---

Honestly- I would not worry about the height, I mean its rear mezz so its not like your looking right over the railing so unless you have a REALLY big fear of heights- don't worry about it

I really, truly don't know.

I just turned 20, and my grandmother gave me enough to cover about half of that. I have a fairly substantial amount of money in my bank account, so paying the difference wouldn't mean I have to starve, or anything, and I think my parents would probably be willing to chip in a small portion of the difference, as well, because it's a tax deductable donation, rather than paying Adam Pascal's mortgage, or something.

But, I haven't really decided yet in my own mind if I think it's justified; last summer, when I heard about this, I figured that $300 is around what I would be able to pay. But am I willing? It's a huge deal, it's a great cause, but that's a LOT of money. I'm gonna talk to my parents about it, I guess. I really don't know what to do. Yes, I want to go, but I think I'd also, even though it's for charity, feel a little bit guilty about spending that kind of money on one night. My gut says I'll end up opting out.

.... beacuse you all wanted to read the thought process of my dilemma.

One minute I'm like "okay, I'm gonna do it, *deep breath*" and the next I'm like "no, it's okay, I'm fine with not going." gr.
