The King & I seating question/TKTS?

I would really like to see the show before Daniel Dae Kim leaves, but don't have a lot of $. There is a discount for $59 for rear loge. Has anyone sat in those seats? Pretty much looking at the last row of the theater in the loge. The other possibility is trying for tickets on TKTS....Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

The theater is really pretty spectacular, built FOR the audience.   Not really a bad seat.   I've sat near the back for a few shows, and have no complaints.

Are you aware the show is closing on Sunday? It's not continuing when he "leaves."

The rear loge is good- any seat in that house is fine, IMO.

Thank you both for the info. I didn't know the show was closing Sunday, but I want to see it with Daniel Dae Kim, so that really doesn't make a difference to me.

Theater is smaller compared to most Broadway theaters. Any seat will have a good view.

I saw the show through TKTS and the seats were fabulous. Tenth row of the center section (300s) on the aisle. I believe my cost of two tickets, including fees, was $160. If that's too high for you, as others have already said, the loge is small and the view is fine.

Thanks! Waiting for TKTS (South Street Seaport) to open this morning to see if it is up for today. Appreciate your help!

Is it worth risking the TKTS booth for the closing performance? I was going to either go to the Box Office tomorrow, or just purchase the loge ticket @ $79 a piece. but these are loge seats in 508 or above and I'm not too keen on having partial view. Haven't seen the show before.

The last show is a Sunday matinee, correct? If so, then buy the ticket at the TKTS booth in south street seaport. At that location, you'll be able to buy Sunday matinee tix on Saturday.

As of now, there are about 30 seats left for the closing matinee. I'd imagine those will be gone before they have a chance to be listed at TKTS.

I ended up going Tuesday night. They did have a seat a TKTS but I didn't want to spend $90 when I had the code for $59 Loge seats. By the time I settled on going, those seats were all gone and I ended up paying $100 for the seat. I was in Row N on the left hand side, almost all the way to the end of the aisle. I missed very little of the action.

The theater seating is wonderful and wish so many shows could be staged this way.  Makes you feel like you're right there with the actors no matter how near or far.  This production of The King and I is so beautiful.  I saw it with my mom, then again with my husband and then sent my sister to go see as a Thank You/Take a break from watching mom gift.  You won't be disappointed with seating.  I was down in center orch but when I looked up and all around, I could see how great the seating was everywhere.
