Hi,
Which seats are better between front Mezz and Orchestra Row M-Q?
Thanks.

I would say front Mezz.

Front Mezz

Thank you.

Someone mentioned that the front Mezz is really high. I don't remember that when I saw Movin'Out. I was in mid Mezz.

Is it high like Vivian Beaumont's Mezz? I hate the mezz in that theatre.

What about Mezz versus row A right side orchestra? Is row A orchestra too close? Is there a lot of neck stretching involved or will you feel totally encompassed by the world of the show?

Sorry to ask about this again.

I'm planning to give Tarzan ticket to my brother.

The seat is Q 20.

I like to tell him in advance if this is part of problem seats.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

I would say save your money and see something worthwhile. Not this dreck.

The seat is fine, it is not obstructed at all on the top.

liotte & WithoutATrace - Thank you very much.

Yakeefan007 - Below is your review. You did not sound so hostile toward the show. You did say that you dislike it but it seems like you started hate it more and more as time goes. What happen?

*************************************************************

I originally had seats in Row T of the orchestra, partial view, but was somehow upgraded to Row O. As they were taking my ticket, they sent me to the box office for the new seat. I originally thought of it as an April Fools joke. The blockage really doesn't start until what seemed to be Row R. Even then, you're really not missing much, just about 5 minutes. I expected more flying.

Sadly, the show did not live up to my high expectations. It's the fault of David Henry Hwang and Phil Collins. The new songs are utterly unmemorable, the book is downright boring. There is absolutely no OOMPH to the show.

Bob Crowley's design and concept was absolutely amazing and saved the show, in my opinion. The cast individually are great, but suffer from lack of chemistry. Jenn Gambatese is great, but her opening song is too low. Josh Strickland should be Tony nominated. Merle and Schuler are great, as well. Tim Jerome and Donnie Keshawitz (spelling?) are just there. Clayton is still a redneck, but they took out the ever popular anti-George Bush line. The highlight comes in Chester Gregory, who steals the show with Trashin' the Camp. If only the whole show was like that.

I found act one to be better than act two, which was downright scary. I noticed a bunch of kids seated around me crying from the many gunshots. The amount of 'em made The Pillowman look like Sesame Street.

It needs work. Desperately. They still have a month. It can be saved.

PK2 - Every time I see a show (and I see 'em weekly), I realize how much I disliked Tarzan. Compared to the other shows I've seen recently, all of which were what theater TRULY is, Tarzan is a 2nd rate mess. Even the show at Disneyworld was better.

Honestly, I don't expect to experience a great theatre feeling that I experience from Sweeney Todd: new production, Cabaret, Chicago, or Ragtime. I thought Lion King was fun to watch for one time but no second time for me.

However, I think it's dangerous to have a fix description of what theatre TRULY is as well. Again, I cannot comment on Tarzan because I have not seen it so it’s not a good example for me to discuss. However, it seems to me that the Tarzan team did try to bring something new and work on it in term of production. I admire the length of time that they are willing to put during pre-production in Brooklyn and preview. It sounds to me that it has big problem with book and music.

I’m still confused by your change of reaction. You said ‘It can be saved’ but now it seems like you are more than disliking it.

Anyway, thanks for your opinion.

PK- YankeeFan is a Yankees fan. Most of the world hates the Yankees. Just because one person likes something doesn't mean everyone else will too.
Go see the show and form your own opinion.
