Posted: 7/17/12 at 10:25amI bought Spiderman Turn off the Dark tickets for Row G on the balcony. Am I going to regret buying these seats?

Yes, unfortunately. Two reasons.
One: The balcony, even in the first couple of rows where I sat, is super detached from the action. Like incredibly so.
Two: The show is really underwhelming. There are moments, and the cast is trying, but the show is a big "eh." The scenic design is really not cohesive and ultimately pretty tacky.

I sat in the balcony and really enjoyed the view. The theater is big, but you get a good overview of the flying. And Spiderman jumps from the balcony a few times, so it is fun to see him there. I think you'll enjoy the view - and hopefully the show!

Posted: 7/17/12 at 11:09amI sat in the front row of the balcony and loved it. I did not feel detached at all, and Spider-Man landed two feet away from me a couple times! You may miss the Chrystler building just because of the angle, but that's about the only thing I missed. I would not regret buying those seats. I would definitely sit there again. It a great view for the flying scenes.

I sat in the extreme far corner of the balcony, and I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed sitting in the orchestra. The flying effects were much more easier to see from the balcony than from even the mezz. At certain points, so much of the show happens out in the audience, and being in the balcony, you get to see it all easily.
Now are you allowed to like this show here on BWW? No, various state and federal laws prohibit that, but you can always like the show outside of bww ; )

Posted: 7/17/12 at 4:04pmOn Sunday, I'll be seeing the show for the first time. Mt tickets are Flying Circle (Mezzanine) Row A, Seats 111 & 112. I'm really excited to see the show, even if it's not the best. I think it will be fun to see what all they can pull off special effect wise in a theater!
