SHREK Questions

Ok, so I know that there's probably already a hundred Shrek theads, but I can't find any and I have some questions. I would love any help!

If you already saw Shrek in NYC, can you tell me if:

1. Row C Seats 6-10 on the Left are good seats?

2. Has Sutton Foster, Jen Cody and Marissa O'Donnell been stage dooring?

3. Has any one met Sutton before the show yet? Do we know roughly what time she gets at the theatre?

Thank you for any help.

Yea, in the orch. I've had these tickets since July, and we are going in just 10 days now. I'm very excited, but getting nervous about the ticket locations now.

Marissa was Teen Fiona. She would be the only teenager in the cast.

I really hope I can catch Sutton, I'm making a scrapbook for her for opening night, since I'm seeing her just like a week shy of opening night. But I'm seeing the show on the 25th, which is the last show before they stop for Thanksgiving, so if I don't get to catch her before the show, which there is a good chance I might not because we are taking the bus down that day, then I think I'm screwed. haha. Oh well, I'm just hoping I'll get lucky.

Thanks.

They're not horrible...but I'd ask about a booster seat. :) I was in the row in front (lottery seats) last Saturday night and while I didn't mind because it was really cool (and finally experienced a something falling into the audience blooper), but they're really close and I did have to kind of lean up and almost stand a couple of times.

Oh, ok. She may have...it was extremely chaotic last week, so I know I missed a lot of people. (And I didn't have my playbill handy to look her up just now.) I did see barricades in place last night as I was leaving Studio 54, so that will hopefully help control it a bit.

Enjoy!! :)

Good to know, jordangirl. I'm going for the WEdnesday mat so hopefully it won't be too crowded.

I can't really add anything to the seating questions (other than don't sit in the mezzanine), but Sutton Foster came out last night and signed for everyone, and was pretty awesome. Jen Cody came out and hung around talking to an acquaintance by the stage door, and signed for those who approached her, but didn't go along the barricade from what I could see (which was the case with much of the ensemble/fairy tale characters). The young Fionna's came out but were with family, so I don't believe they signed, but they may have. Have a good time at the show :)

I don't think you miss that much ~ though I can't say beyond seat 6 ~ but you do need to stretch up to see some things. Short of them closing the performance for a theater renovation to lower the stage, I don't think it's something that can be "fixed". (As opposed to Spamalot where it is the set obstructing the view in a lot of those cases.) It is not that the set is in the way. It is that the stage is high and the seats are close to it.

Guymy13 ~ Why not the mezz? And the whole mezz or a particular part?

If you go out the front (well...back? Where you enter the theater ~ that was the only option the other night) you'll be on Broadway. Go up to the corner and turn left onto 53rd St. It's down that block about a third of the way. There are barricades now.
