Hi All-

I am sorry to start a new thread. I have seen N2N on TKTS' list the last few weeks. I just wanted to know if anyone here have bought tickets to TKTS for N2N? How much? Seats? and how early I should be there for a Saturday matinee? or I should just buy it on discount for $56.00 since were coming from Boston and there's no guarantee that it will be there on Saturday at 1pm? Pls advise. Thank you




btw- I am planning to go to NYC next weekend ..just to see the show... I have no plans of seeing other show aside from this one. so pls advise on best strategy?

If you're coming just to see it, go ahead and get the $56 tickets. It has not regularly been on tkts that I've seen ~ especially on a weekend.

thanks jordan.. I guess so... the only thing is they dont release the good tickets yet till the last minute... I am getting ROW H 5 & 6- dont like those seats- way on the LEFT SIDE... I have seen 'eurydice' there... I think I sat there..but I moved towards middle bec. its not FULL....

How's the view on ROW H seats 5 & 6? Chris does not like to sit in the middle. He likes aisle seat? personal preference...

Yeah... might just buy it...bec. were just taking the bus...well leave 8:30 am and well be there at 12:30- eat lunch at Chinatown and see the show...and get a haircut (yup! my barber is in NYC ! lol! ) I get haircut everytime I go there...

Then well catch bus back at 6 pm and be home at 10 pm...might just buy broadwaybox discount tixs...I have not seen N2N on TDF too?

Should I buy tix right now before Brantley reviews's came out? it could go either way!

I sat in F 6 for this show and it was fine, I actually imagine that H 6 would be a little better - because of being a bit farther back but still close enough to see their faces.

Thanks and definitely do not sit on the front bec. the set is 3 level?

We sat in Row H seats 5 and 6 last night. Seat 6 is all the way to the left, on the end. There is a plastic "wall" that goes up to the box seats just to your left. So, essentially, it's on the end, but there's no aisle, just a partition.

The view was fantastic - no complaints here. No neck straining, great view, could see the stage in it's entirely.

Have a great time! The show is amazing.

yeah... I might get the tickets today... I think I will call them, instead of ordering online..somehow it does give you an option...to choose another seat..or am I missing it?

I love the songs...can't stop listening to it since this morning....and Chris have never been to 2ST and I keep telling him..how I love how the theater is soo bright then bfore the show starts.. the curtains closes on the big window and It sooo dark inside...so cool!

me and my best friend are going out to see The Little Mermaid next Wednesday at 2, should we get tickets to see In The Heights or this at night? She's picky so I don't know what she would like better.

With this one, the side is fine. H should be fine J*.

Glory ~ I haven't seen "In the Heights" ~ don't really have a desire to based on the music I heard. So with that biased opinion, I'd say this one. but I'm sure there will be others who will disagree with me.

Ryan,

Check your pm.. I have seen IN THE HEIGHTS off-broadway. I am not really tickled about the music that much based on the demo...but I love the show... its just original and fresh!!!

I love PASSING STRANGE music soo much !! between ITH & PS- I will go with PS..if you only have 1 choice...but dont miss the two shows .. both shows are original..

That's why I like N2N- its soo original. now this show is not based on any novels or any pre-existing materials? is that right?

I sat in H6. It was a full view. I could see expressions and all parts of the 3-level set.

And you are right. N2N is not based on anything. It is very refreshing. I love original, dark musicals that don't insult my intelligence. Unfortunately, they are few and far between.

ok I gave in and the best friend loved the idea of a new show so we got two seats for 29 bucks a piece (I love being young) for front row all the way to the right. I hope they aren't obstructed because it didn't say anything about them being obstructed. But I AM so excited to see Aaron and Brian live again :)

Glory, I sat there for N2N and while you may miss some action on the second level when they are further upstage, I didn't have any problems with the seat.

oh thanks for letting me know broadwaybaby! i'm very excited to finally see this show, i've heard nothing but good things about it.

Ryan-You did not see Aaron Tveit? in NSMT's The Three Musketeers at Beverly, MA. oh! that was a painful musical to see.. I posted a report on that...Unfortunatley it got deleted together with my THE RITZ's report..when all those threads from August got deleted by accident.

To see Aaron onstage again was the only redeeming factor for me.

There really isn't a bad seat for this show with its staging. Really.

[jaystarr]

Posted: 2/13/08 at 5:04pm

Yeah. I agree ^^^^

I am very excited to see the show specially we will be seeing this show with another poster friend here that I have not met yet. We made plans with him already..
Sooner or later.. I will ended up meeting everyone here ..lol!

Yeah.. between the show $56.00 discount and our bus fare $30.00 r/t ..it will cost us almost $90.00- full price of a ticket. Not bad!

how did I miss Aaron at NSMT?! I'm such a bad fan! haha

The show is good from any seat.

I would say that farther back is better because the set is a little too big for the space. It is three tiered and you want to be back a little bit to see it all.

Also I think it's a loud show, so further back is better.

I saw it second to last row on the right and even there everything was very clear and i didn't miss a thing

I sat in row D, jay. You'll be fine. It's kind of the best of both worlds.
