#1Seating Question: Al Hirschfeld Theater
Posted: 2/15/11 at 7:56pmHaving never been to the Al Hirschfeld Theater, I was hoping someone could advise me if Row B orchestra is too close? I do not mind sitting close but I am wondering if it has a high stage?

Posted: 2/15/11 at 9:09pmI sat in the second row for Curtains and I didn't like being that close at all. The stage height wasn't a problem, but I couldn't handle being that close during some of the dance routines.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Thanks everyone, you all make good points.
I like the idea of being up close but I hear what you are saying re the choreography... problem is I can't really afford to buy premium tickets and row B is the closest before the Premium block.
Oh well.... lots for me to think about.
