Does anybody have any information about where seat locations have been through TDF lately? -- specifically interested in Gigi, On the Town, Hand to God, It Shoulda Been You, or Wolf Hall. I found some things in some threads from a while back (mostly during previews), but nothing very recent. Thanks in advance!

Guards at the Taj was 2nd row, center on Sunday evening. House was pretty full.

Gigi - I rec'd a Row L Orchestra seat...house left, but not extreme. Great view; boring show. (This was just this past Saturday night.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Hand to God, two weeks ago, Wed. matinee, 8th row, one off the center aisle. orchestra.
ISHBY, last Saturday matinee, 10th row dead center, orchestra.
I don't believe I've ever had a mezzanine seat from TDF and I use it frequently.

Regarding the seating location question:
box offices are required to seat TDF in the top ticket price zone (this excludes any "premium" or "special" ticket prices). So in most Theatres this means the orchestra or front mezzanine. Whether it is centered or on the side is often dependent on how sold the show is. If it's a small off broadway theatre with one price, then the seats can be anywhere.
As for the shows in question, I recently used Tdf for wolf hall part one, on a Wednesday evening. I was seated in orchestra Row C, two seats from an aisle in the left bank of seating. Perfect view.

That can't be true. I've gotten TDF for a few shows (not sold out) and sat in the last rows of the balcony with many higher price point seats available.

It's not true. At all. While I love using TDF, more often than not, I have mezz seats, not orchestra.

Not true, I got Barry Manalow premium seats 4 hours before concert. Paid $ 45, seats listed for around $350.

MayAudraBlessYou2, that is not true at all and I don't know who told you that. It's simply false. Rear mezz is standard for TDF.

Its certainly not standard. I've had more rear orchestra experiences than mezzanine, and I've been a member for over 10 years. Is it possible and likely to get rear mezz? Absolutely. Is it the rule of thumb (and should be assumed)? No.

I've only used TDF a few times and have been rear orchestra or rear mezzanine every time.
Was given Rear Left Orchestra Row P seats 9, 11 and 13 for HAND TO GOD on 5/9, 8pm. No complaints, the theater is very small.
IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU on 4/8, I received rear mezzanine row K seats 106 and 107.
For If/Then last year, I received rear orchestra row T.
However, I received orchestra row F for the Easter Bonnet when TDF specifically said I would get rear orch or front mezzo. Was very a nice surprise!

Guess it depends on the show & luck of the draw.

After 2 TDF B'way shows where we were in the last row (center) and then last row (side) of the balcony, we've stopped using it there. Just Off B'way for us, and seats are always great

Amazing Grace is up now for their entire first weekend of previews.

A friend of ours went to a recent reading of this and was not to thrilled with it
Do not see this as a huge hit. It will be a tough sell. Right now, have no intention of seeing it.

In case anyone is interested, they now have On The 20th Century listed for Saturday night - Kristin will not be performing (and that is clearly noted on TDF).

For those interested, the Final performance of It's Only A Play is up there
