Seating Advice for Pippin, Kinky Boots, and Matilda

Sat in front Mezz for both KINKY BOOTS and PIPPIN. Can't go wrong there, especially for PIPPIN. I feel like the Mezz in PIPPIN is a must!

Sat in the Orchestra right on the aisle for MATILDA and had great seats as well. I would suggest the Orchestra for MATILDA, especially if you want to see all the cast enter/exit around you and be under the incredibly cool proscenium of floating tiles.

If you sit in the balcony for Matilda, you can avoid the poles if you sit: 1) in the center section; 2) in the sections to the FAR left or right.

Does anyone know how the view would be from Balcony Row H, Seat 26 for Matilda? It is the seat on the far right aisle. Trying to decide if I want to spring for the more expensive seats in the front of the balcony.

I was in the back of the balcony for Matilda and I am sure it affected my lack of enjoyment of the show. It was just too far away. I would not recommend it. I think the mezz is a much better choice.

For Kinky Boots, your seats are perfect. I think this is a show you want to see from the mezz.. you have GREAT seats.

Can't help you with Pippin. I have tickets for September.

Let us know how the seats worked out. Enjoy!

The last three rows of the mezzanine are not good for Matilda - there is an obstructed view from the balcony and you have to lean over to see the stage. You will miss some of the "high" things on the stage such as the blackboard - and telecharge doesn't tell you those seats are obstructed.
And if you are in the first two rows of the mezzanine you need to be in at least 4 seats or your view is obstructed by the set pieces and you won't see the back of the stage (which affects When I Grow Up)

I think closer is better for Matilda and Kinky Boots. Mezz is the best place for Pippen. I sat in second row and loved being close but missed some of the action.

I would eat the cost of the Matilda tickets and purchase new ones. One of the reasons Matilda's grosses are not as high as they should be is because audiences are avoiding the third level. Your Kinky Boots tix are against the back wall of the theatre; better than your Matilda seats but still not optimal. Your Pippin seats are the best of the lot because their theatre is tiny in comparison. The Music Box is very wide, I tell everyone to avoid the extreme sides, your tix are perfect. Hopefully you are seeing them in this order - Matilda, Kinky, and then Pippin. Your views will only get better. If you see Pippin first you will be disappointed in the locations of the others. But hey, you are seeing the three big hits, your lucky to have not been paying premium prices for them.

Here's a question, is Pippin not catching on? While its selling out each week - when you look ahead you can always get better seats for Pippin than the other two big hits Kinky Boots and Matilda. Considering Pippin has many less seats to sell its doubly perplexing. For sure it did not catch fire like the Chicago revival of the Weisler's. I'm guessing Kinky Boots and Matilda are overshadowing and audiences like new.

So for some reason, my first post isn't showing up?? Shrug. Anyways, I'm seeing Matilda for a second time (I saw it SRO the first) and I'm not sure what seats to get. I have the option of getting front row but is this worth it? Money's not an issue for me but I'm wondering if it's better a few rows back. Help?
