Hey All -
I'm looking to purchase a pair of tix to SOUTH PACIFIC for May or June. I'm wondering as to whether or not Orchestra or Loge Seating is any good? They're offering Row C - 105 and 106 of the the Orchestra, and Row A - 107 and 108 of the Loge section. Seeing as I've never been past W. 55th St. (as far as 'theatregoing' goes), I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Any and all insight greatly, greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
- Mike

Posted: 2/26/08 at 10:13pmWell I can't be of much help but I thought I'd put in my $0.02. I saw Piazza there in 2003 and from what I remember it's a fairly small house so, like Cirlcle in the Square, any seat would be fine in my opinion.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 2/26/08 at 11:20pmThe Beaumont is a thrust stage, and it's possible you will miss a lot of action from both the 100's and 500's in the orchestra, particularly up close (I believe Row C in the orchestra is the first row). Until we start hearing about what the set and staging look like, I would avoid those sections.

Row C is the front row of the Orchestra in the Beaumont, correct.
That Loge is about 800 miles above the stage.
Sit ANYWHERE in the Orchestra before you get a seat in that Loge.

Posted: 2/27/08 at 4:10amMike, I was advised to avoid the 100s and 500s if I can ! That's the reason I haven't got South Pacific tix for April yet, since they are the only ones available ! I was also advised that, my best bet for a good seat, would be trying same day or day before, since, supposedly, there are always cancellation and returned house tix available on LCT ! I do hope I'm doing the right thing, since there's no way I am missing this !!!
