Is there anywhere which gives you advice on seating views for Broadway theatres? I am looking for the Broadway equivalent to theatremonkey for the West End.

Looking at maybe seeing Spiderman and didn't really want to miss the action so wanted to find out about overhangs.

Thanks

Shoot...I think there is, I sort of remember seeing someone post one, but sadly, I can't remember it. Hopefully, someone else will help you out.

Good luck.

There used to be a magazine/book called STUBS with all of the seating charts. But, that was back in the 1960s and 70s.

Anywhere you're paying $147 at spidey will allow you to see a great deal of the action. The flying circle has a great window to the show. The box seats are also perfect if you're looking to focus mainly on the soaring. The first about five rows of the balcony are okay too, the only issue is that some times they fly out of sight, and a lot of the clamatic ending isnt seen. The orchestra is wonderful, row S is about the last row you would want to be in, because the overhang starts on T.

I just bought tickets to see it in row K seat 9 in the orchestra. A little worried that they are over to the side too much. . But we shall see

I sat in the flying circle with a friend who saw it from mid orchestra and he said he really preferred the mid orchestra to the flying circle. You do get a great view of everything from the flying circle but if you are sitting a few rows back from the first row, you kinda miss when he lands in the aisle in the orchestra section. You also miss the landing on the balcony but it was kinda cool just watching him fly up past the flying circle.
