ONCE seating question#1

Posted: 5/17/12 at 11:37am

Ok I have a dilemma: should I pay the $60 for the last row of the mezz all the way on the side seat, or should I suck it up and rush? I know the rush are partial view, but are the rear mezz on the side seats that much better? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most of the rush seats, at least yesterday, appeared to be box seats. About 20 percent of the stage--upstage extreme right or left-is obscured from the boxes, but not much takes place there, so for $26.50 it's great seeing the faces and the musical numbers close up. The other rush seats were extreme side front mezz. So I'd take my chance with rush.

The rush line got pretty crowded by 8 a.m.

Thanks! I may try to rush this Saturday. Has anyone actually sat in the $59.50 rear mezz seats?

If you rush, try to get there pretty early. I was probably about 7th, and my box seat was good, but the woman sitting next to me (further from the stage) could hardly see anything. It's a bit of a gamble, but worth it if you're willing to get there early.

I've sat in the box and I'd sit there again. You miss some, but not much. Also, it's fairly easy to get to/from the stage if you're having a pre-show drink.

I sat in the rear mezz seats again last night (and will be again next month) and I think it's a fine view.
