Has anyone sat in the orchestra front row at the Lunt-Fontanne? I know every show is different, but pictures and video I have seen from multiple shows suggest the front row is set a bit back and visibility is good. Does anyone have any advice about the front row? Thank you

I sat in the front row, center orchestra, at the Lunt-Fontanne for Ghost in 2012. From what I remember, I thought the view was pretty great. However, if things are happening near the ground of the stage, and a bit further back, you might miss it. For example, there was a scene where one of the actors was lying on the ground, with the other kneeling beside him, I missed some of that scene. And you probably will not be able to see the performers' feet. But overall though, I thought the seat was great!

Thank you Hanabana for responding.

I haven't been in that theater a VERY long time, but I had a similar experience in the front row as Hanabana did at GHOST during the revival of Threepenny that Sting was in EONS ago. I don't think I actually ever saw anyone's footwear in that production.

The front row is a bit further fro the stage than normal, but the stage at the Lunt-Fontanne is very high. Being at least six rows back is probably the best way to see everything, but still be close.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, everyone. I am buying Finding Neverland tickets and the information is helpful. I will choose seats a few rows back.
