Thanks

Well, I hear if you don't pay very close attention to the proceedings and maintain silence at all times, Neil Simon sends you a nasty note.

That is true Namo..

The Simon isn't a huge theatre so you should be fine......

That's not a very good question. Unless someone is a math teacher or can see in the future, we don't know. The number of people in the drawing varies.

That is a tough call to make.. It really depends on the week/time of year and which performance of the week you go to.. but if I had to tell you a how... Wednesday matinees would probably provide the best opportunity...

Think you might be better understood if you spoke conventional english? It might be easier if translations were not necessary.

Just a thought --

If the actors can't see you from the stage, you're too far back.

I have sat in the rear mezz to see Hairspray. You can see everything from up there The theater isn't that big so it's really not so bad. I would rather go for standing room tickets if it's possible for you to handle. The show isn't super long and you are closer to the stage. Also it's cheaper and if you get there early enough to get the standing room tickets it's a guarantee fist come first sere rather then having to take a chance on wining a lottery. But that's just me :) I like knowing I have the tickets.

I sat in Mezzanina Row R, and I throughly enjoyed the view. As others have said, the theater is small, so the view is great. If those are the only available seats, take them!

Go early and get standing room. It's worth the wait. It's worth the price. Sometimes the ushers will escort you to empty seats just to get you out of their way.
