Warner Theater in DC. . .seating.

does anyone know how the seating is at the Warner theater in Washington DC? I'm getting tickets to see RENT there in May but I'm unsure as to where to sit. The front rows are for the student Rush but how good are seats in the orchestra vs the balcony?

The Warner's an OK venue, but not one of my favourites. Should you choose to do rush for RENT, be warned that the side speakers will be obstructed and you will be sitting in front of speaker columns.

In the past the bass has been overwhelming at this venue for Rent.

Also erinrebecca and exedore are correct in regards to seating.

I checked out the "grand suites" which are the first 4 rows of the mezz. they cost anywhere from 30,000- 5,000 dollars. I'll pass. I'm thinking mid Orchestra. Tickets are only 64, so it isn't too bad

Mamie-- I have never had the chance to see anything in the inside other than the lobby near the ticket box. I went to buy Nutcracker tickets back in December, but they were sold out. From what I saw I loved, the lobby was very nice. I did see outside on the sidewalk--the names in the cement. I'm a HUGE Gilmore Girls fan and the first name I looked down to see was Paul Anka! It really is neat to walk around and see all the names.

I'm really excited. A- Getting to see RENT again and with a great cast if what I'm hearing is true, and B- seeing it in an amazing theater. I'm worried that the beauty will be out of place with the concept of RENT (given that the NYC theater is made to look rundown)

I saw Miss Saigon there. I think I sat row N on the side. It was a fine view, but the theatre did strike me as quite large. I felt further back in their row N than I do at most regular Broadway theatre's row N if that makes sense.

I thought you might like to see a few pics from inside the beautiful golden Warner.

I've been given tickets to two shows at the Warner. For "Cabaret" we sat way back across the Potomac in x/y/z land. Honestly, it made little difference to me. I still clearly saw Teri Hatcher and her b*tchy anti-Liza rendition of Cabaret. Man, I can still hear her saying, "Hello Dahhhh-lingz!"
For "And Then There's Bea" we were basically looking up Bea Arthur's nose in row C or D. It was a nice, intimate feeling, but my neck would have been a little more comfortable a few rows back. Seeing those legendary deadpans up close was priceless though. "Not NOW Ma!"
