I'm looking forward to seeing this in May based on all the positive recommendations in this thread. Can someone please explain why seats in row M are $244 each while seats in the very next row are only $99 a piece. Is there a mezzanine overhang blocking the view? Bedbug infestation? Guarantee of Marge Simpson hairdo directly in front? Thanks.

I think the producers of this show are pricing more good seats at affordable rates, which is smart of them. Wish more shows had cheap seats in actually solid seating locations like this one does.

Appreciate the quick reply, and thankful for great seats at a very reasonable price!

Tonight's viewing was from Rear Mezzanine, Row B, Center. Overall, sightlines were good; however, at times, the very tops of the actors' heads were slightly obscured by the back of the sound booth. This might be more of an issue further back in the rear mezzanine, but personally, it didn't bother me.

As for the show cannacraftcorner.com itself, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every character felt believable, and the script was intricate, layered, and captivating. The music was exceptional. While there was a slight dip in pacing after intermission, it wasn't enough to detract from my overall pureplantpleasures.com enjoyment.

In short, it was a fantastic experience.

i went in with sky high expectations based on word of mouth and reviews, so i was *slightly* let down---Act II dragged a bunch in particular-- but overall this is a ridiculously well-crafted play. just absolutely masterful character/plot development. 

i presume for awards purpose they are keeping her in supporting category, but i thought Sarah Pidgeon carries the play, and could easily be considered its central character. she is doing outstanding work--they all are, but it felt like her show. Will Brill continues to be brilliant in everything he does, and Eli Gelb took me by surprise with his touching turn from hilarity to feelings at the end. 

very much feels like this will snatch up a bunch of tonys-  the sound, the direction, its all flawless. 

well, almost: in the vein of last season's sightline outrages (A Dolls House the chief criminal, Parade not great either) im not sure (thought there must be a reason) for them to have set the studio behind the controls-- it feels like if they had just rotated everything on a bit of a diagonal, it would be more accessible to more people. I was on the aisle in Row N Orch and have zero complaints, but there is no way the rear mezz was getting it all and the front rows of the orchestra looked horrible for seeing the studio....and the extreme sides arent great either... again im sure they did the best they could here but it seems like large swaths of the theater are semi obstructed.

Interesting article about some of the technical aspects of the show and its creation: https://variety.com/2024/legit/news/stereophonic-broadway-behind-the-scenes-1235974171/

I saw it for a third time last night, and it really is a marvel of storytelling and craft. I pick up new things each time, my favorite last night being how Charlie is listening to his music off to the side while Diana plays “Bright” for the first time and slowly removes his headphones to listen to her, like he’s entranced. And the composition of the stage picture is almost pastoral. Just… *chef’s kiss*.

Loved it loved it loved it. Didn't so much as glance at my watch the entire time. I'll be recommending this show to anyone who will listen. Can't wait to go again, and to have the cast recording on repeat.

Saw it tonight. Sarah Pigeon is giving one of the best performances of the season. Plus that voice!

Can someone tell me where the best place to sit if you're getting the discounted $59 tickets. Is it orchestra left or right and is it better to sit far back in row L or K or is better closer like G or H? Thank you! Also, can you tell me what I miss especially if I miss any of the recording studio.

I would say anywhere around the eighth row or back in the orchestra is fine as long as you're not too far to the side. If you sit house left, there is a short bit of pratfall business that you might miss and house right a couple of entrances into the booth, but not a big deal at all. If you're several rows back and not too far to the side, you shouldn't miss anything in the upstage recording booth. Too far house right and there is a very funny scene with the drummer that might be blocked or partial view. There are several key scenes with most of the cast in the recording booth and several interactions (verbal and gesture) between the band members in the booth and the engineers downstage, so having the booth view blocked by being too close and the console getting in the way would be problematic.

I was in Orchestra P2 (house right on the aisle) and thought it was a great vantage point and had plenty of leg room.

Thank you! So you recommend sitting orchestra left rather than right for this show?

I am going to be sitting Rear Mezz Row A in the very center on the aisle.  Will all the actors be visible even when they go into the booth upstage?

Yep! Rear Mezz row A won't have any obstruction at all for you.

I got the $59 orchestra left seats in row K. From what I read on here, I won't miss too much.
