Has anyone sat in the Partial view seats in the orchestra at the Nederlander before? My mom wanted to see Pretty Woman and I thought I'd buy her tickets, she isn't picky about seating so I'm trying not to break the bank, just wanted to know exactly how partial the view was from the back of the orchestra. Thanks for any help! PS: While I know the show isn't popular, Pretty Woman is selling pretty well actually, wouldn't be surprised if this show ran for a solid year or 2.
There are a few types of "partial view" in the Nederlander orchestra - front row they call "partial view" - but it's basically full view from center orchestra. Far left and far right in the front couple of rows - those seem like the view might be truly partial view where you might miss the action on the side of the side of the stage you are sitting on.
From the back of the orchestra, the only thing that I think might be obstructing your view is mezzanine overhang. I sat in the last row in Orchestra center and you can see the overhang of the mezzanine, but unless there's action above the stage (rarely) I doubt you miss anything. Maybe at one point there are people in the fire escape higher on the stage and that might get blocked.
I got one for NEWSIES orchestra house right a few rows back from the stage. End seat. It was literally tilted sideways. By the end of the show I was actually in pain. I spoke to someone there about it but I hear the seats are still like that. The view was fine but the seat was very uncomfortable.
