Preferred seating at Hilton Theatre for Chitty??

Posted: 10/27/05 at 1:06am

Can someone please tell me the best possible row/section at the Hilton Theatre for my first time seeing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? You have no idea how excited I am about this. I'm going next week. Feel free to PM me, if you prefer. Thanks.

Peace and Love,

I think the perfect seats for Chitty are actually in the Dress Circle. When the car flies, she'll be at your eye level. Since the theatre has a balcony above the DC, the DC is fairly low down, so you don't feel like you're sitting a mile away. I sat in the second to last row up there, and it was perfect, so I'm sure if you can get within the front few DC rows, it's amazing. I'd also say back half of the orchestra, since so much of the show is about physical spectacle. You won't be able to get AS much of facial expressions and all, but it's nice to get the whole picture, which is nice for the first time.

Have fun!

I've never sat in the dress circle. However, if you're in the orchestra, I'd say definitely no too close. If you're too close, the car's effect will be spoiled for you (since you'll be able to see the mechanism). I'd say anywhere from about Row H back is perfect.

Enjoy the show!

Em, does Chitty have student rush?

Yeah, two hours before curtain. $26.25 each, two per ID, whatever's left in the house.

I prefer sitting up close in the orchestra. But, it's just depends on the person.

I saw Chitty from seat AA103, front row, left side. It was amazing! The best seats are in the front for that show, or the dress circle. Front center, Chitty flies over you. I got spit on by Kevin Cahoon! Erin Dilly waved at me from the flying Chitty, and this ensemble girl was laughing at my mom and I because we were smiling at her. And most of the cast remembered me at the stage door as "The boy in the front row!".

Sit there.
