Question about the Hilton Theatre

What row does Row A of the "Dress Circle" hang over?

What is the difference between a Dress Circle and a Front Mezzanine?

Ive seen Ragtime, Chitty, Pirate Qeen and 42nd St here. Its the most awful, souless place on earth. I sat in row H for PQ and i was miles away from the stage. Shame really cos it could be a nice theatre. I do wish tha Young Frankenstein had chosen another venue. The show i cant wait to see but the thought of sitting in that barn again yuk!

Pardon my ignorance for having only been in a few theatres....but is this place so bad that it could talk you out of seeing a show you really want to see?

I saw 42nd Street from the rear mez and it was fine.

42nd Street must have been staged very well because I sat in the very last row of the theatre, and I had no problems with seeing anything.

i'm just glad i'm getting my company bonus around the time those tickets go on sale. i could NEVER sit in the mezz in that theatre. it's FAR

It's a PRETTY house.. but feels very.. sanitized.. and it is WAY too big. Leg room is great. But crammmingg that manny seats with THAT much leg room leaves you with the feel of a touring house. NO ONE has the star wattage to project personality to the back of that place unless they are 30 feet tall. The overhangs are VERY far back. Dress Circle is only 8 rows deep.. and the orchestra is about 30 rows.. so right there.. that tells you. The sightlines are GREAT.. but you feel very, VERY disconnected from the stage. Even the front row is far back.
