Spelling Bee Seats Question

I have a quick Circle in the Square/Spelling Bee seat question for those of you who have seen the show/been inside the theatre.

I'm seeing the show in a few weeks and have seats in that second BB row. I was wondering how they are as far as how the show is set up, the seating, the theatre itself, etc. I've never been inside, so I'm not sure what Circle in the Square is all about. I also heard something about actual risers being used in the audience besides the risers the contestants use in the show. I could be just making that up though...

Thanks for any input!

I remember on a few episodes of Friends, they showed the exterior of the Circle in the Square Theater. That wasn't really the inside, was it? Isn't it bigger?

Ooh. Those are really good seats. There really isn't a bad seat in the house though. It's very different from your typical theatre. Enjoy the show!

I sat in the end seat on the left row AA and the seat was perfect. You will feel a part of the show at times.

I bears repeating that because of the way this theatre is set up and the way the show is staged, there really are no bad seats!! Really!! The set-up is nothing like a regular Broadway theatre. The side is NOT like sitting onstage for SA and literally seeing the show from the side ...here, the side is sorta like the front!...oh you'll see what I mean! A213 would be in the middle on the side...in a way, those are PERFECT for this show! Imagine, for example, sitting on the front row on the "side" for a basketball game. Good seats, no?

PS: I was an on-stage speller a few weeks back! It was amazing... :)

Re: Circle In the Square: Wasn't there a musch smaller theatre by the same name in the village once? Maybe that is the one they show on friends? I know that all of Joey's plays were in the Lucille Lortel...I don't know if they actually filmed inside it...it sure looked kinda like it...

I saw the show from row CC and LOVED IT. Although I must admit it was a bit weird to have some of the characters singing right at you (or so it seems) from about 5 feet away. You WILL enjoy the seats!

Millie: There only a few rows, period, so you are never too far back. And it's stadium-style seating, with each row higher than the other, so you always have a perfect view!

It looked flat from row D on the sides, but that may have been an optical illusion.

There is somehting missing from that original image. The two benches in front of row AA.
