So, I'm trying to get a LincTix and they seem to only be available all the way against the stage, half way back. Does much happen upstage of the thrust?
There aren't bad seats IMO for this production. Most of the action happens in the 'thrust', the actual deep stage is not used.
Is there anything that happens back there? I like to see the full stage picture. Just curious what the set/design is like.

I sat on the aisle seat, all the way house left, second row (also through LincTix). It was a great view and I didn't feel I missed a thing. Truly, all of the action happens in the thrust. The set within the actual proscenium is just a wall with a door. There are occasionally some projections played on the back wall, but I think you would still be able to easily see them from the seats you're describing.
My LincTix was all the way against the wall, but close to the stage. You will not miss anything being far off to the side. The stage is not deep like it was for The King and I. All of the action happens on the thrust, and the depth of the stage and design really doesn't go beyond the thrust.
My LincTix seat was in the fourth row, pretty far on the side (house right), and I loved my view. I was glad to be close to the stage and didn't think I missed anything at all by being on the side.
PThespian said: "Closer is definitely better IMO.
I sat up in the loge and felt very disconnected from everything.
It's an intimate piece playing in a large space. I think it was much better at the Newhouse.
That being said definintly catch it if you can.
"
But would you say the first row is too close?
I was second row and definitely would not say the first row is too close. This isn't a "big picture" show, so I think the closer you are, the better to experience the excellent acting that is happening on the stage.
