Posted: 6/17/06 at 6:11pmJust be careful of the "spit factor" if you are in the center area.

I was in BB1 and I loved it. Much better than when I sat in rear mezz! My seat was perfect for me because I was on the side where Patti Lupone sits on stage. It is wonderful to see the cast's faces close up. If you have the center orch seat, the cast plays to that area especially.

I was in BB2 and found it almost an obstructed view, can't see most of far Left stage @ all.(BB 8 must be much worse!) Also Neck spasms from looking left only for so long. On the + side I kept making eye contact w Patti!

Posted: 6/17/06 at 10:24pmIf they are in the center, they will be perfect. I sat AA center and the seats were outstanding. The stage is pretty low.

Posted: 6/18/06 at 12:47amBB is amazing because the actors can make eye contact with you. So when you see it, pay attention because they will let you know if you are a distraction (the person in the FIRST ROW was sitting there talking to their neighbor during the beinning and manoel shushed them!)

Posted: 6/18/06 at 12:51amI really want front row tickets to this show. I have seen so many funny actor-audience interactions. Especially with Manoel Felciano during Pirelli's Miracle Elixir when there is a bald an in the front row. Priceless...

Posted: 6/18/06 at 1:07amHe pointed the violin bow directly in my face, I was smiling the entire show and clearly deeply into it so they kind of picked me out to mess around with a little bit. It certainly added to the fun I had during the show.

I sat in BB 1, it was good. 
But another time I sat AA 103. I didn't like it, actually. I thought (and my neck thought!) it was hard to look up that far. Buuuuut, BB center would be awesome!
