Hey guys, I have never seen Wicked, and I am thinking about spending my money on tickets. I will probably aim for the 75 dollar tickets, how good of a view is this? See, I like the music for Wicked, but I really want to see Ben Vereen, I loved him as Judas and The Lead Player, but how is the rest of the cast? Also, what are the chances of getting Ben's signiture?

He signed at the stage door on Friday night.

Cool, what about the seating? Should I just try to spring for the 100 bucks?

I don't know, I do the lottery and usually win that. I've never bought full price tickets. It's not so bad sitting in the back of the mezz (one time, I gave my lottery seats to my parents and took their prepaid seats in the back), so I'm sure the $75 tickets are good.

Having sat in the front row, the middle of the floor, and the middle of the mezzanine, I'd recommend the mezzanine ($75 tickets). Obvously, the closer to the front the better, but there's so much more to see from the mezz that you just don't see from the orchestra.

And the new cast is great. Don't expect a whole lot form Fiyero or Morrible and you won't be disappointed.
