Richard Rodgers Mezzanine seating plan query

Hi everyone!

I work for a London-based theater seating/ticketing website and we're currently working on an expansion into Broadway.**

The message boards here have been incredibly helpful as a resource (thanks, guys!) so I'm hoping you'll be able to give me a bit of guidance on the Richard Rodgers Theatre's Mezzanine(s.)

My main question is about the layout of the Mezzanines, namely - are the Front and Rear Mezzanines on separate balconies, or part of the same upper level split into two?

From photos, it seems like the latter but I'm having a little trouble finding specific information about how these two areas fit together. If anyone could give some tips, that'd be fab as we really want to be as accurate as possible for our users.

If you have any general comments about the views and seat quality, that'd be really helpful too :)

Thanks, guys!

**The basic premise of the website is to help theatergoers easily find information about seats - what each section is like, where the best views are and so on. Our West End venues feature interactive seat charts with user-submitted photos and reviews. This helps us generate an accurate resource for people visiting the site which they use when choosing and booking tickets. If you want a better idea of what we do, we're at www.seatplan.com or @seatplan on twitter!

Hi haterobics - thanks for the reply! I did check AVFMS, yes, although I wanted to make sure I was getting the right idea from the photos.

Thanks for the tip about names (Balcony vs Rear Mezz), that's really helpful. From looking at the photos it does seem like it's two sub-levels built into one like you suggest - I'll take that on board when I'm writing my copy.

Thanks again! :)

I'm hearing a lot about very cramped legroom in some Broadway theaters - some choice comments about the Walter Kerr's Balcony gave me a bit of a giggle yesterday actually! It's something I've not had much trouble with because I'm short and small-framed, but researching these venues has definitely raised the issue a lot. Thanks for letting me know.

Is legroom something you try to find out before you book a ticket for a new venue, or do you have a good sense of which sections and areas tend to be best generally?

Alice147, I love Seatplan, and I've been waiting for it to include Broadway. Theatre seating is a hobby of mine, so I sent you a PM with my email address, in case you have any other questions. I'd love to help with your expansion!

That's such a handy tip about legroom in the rear mezz, thanks. And thanks to everyone else for their thoughts too, it's been a real help
