URGENT Need info on Seating for Sweeney Todd

Hi, can someone who has attended Sweeney Todd at the Eugene O'Neill tell me how the view is from orchestra seats A2 (is it too far to the side or too close) and also P103 (is that too far back?). It's always hard to tell from seating maps how much of an angle you could be at.

Please tell me your experiences ASAP on where you sat, even if it isn't near these seats. Thanks.

When I show the show, I was in the orchestra in R104, and I thought it was a great seat! It's a small house (about 1000 people, I think) so I'm pretty sure that any seat's going to be a good seat.

A2 is a fantastic seat. Not too far to the side at all. It's right on the aisle. And being close to the stage is not a problem in this show.

P103 is not too far back, and near the center. Also a good seat.

If it's a choice between those 2, I'd go with A2 for sure. In this show, it's better to be closer to the stage. You catch a lot more nuances in the orchestrations and acting that way.

UMMM. I was in the 1st row r side.(not centre) I honestly think it should be sold as an obstructed view. My neck started to kink from being such a long time twisted to the left also didn't see several of the performers far stage L unless they stood. On the other hand, I made eye contact w La Lupone several times over the performance so I guess it evened out!
