Wicked and Jersey Boys - Chicago

I just ordered tickets for both shows while I am in Chicago and I was wondering if anyone had been to these theatres and knew how good/bad the seats were... I found seating charts but i couldnt find where the overhang was... Help! Thanks!

Wicked
Ford Center for the Performing Arts, Chicago, IL
ORCH, row X, seats 107-108

Jersey Boys
LaSalle Bank Theatre, Chicago, IL
Dress Circle - row G, seats 203-204

wicked youre fine, Jersey Boys, that is pretty far back in the Dress Circle and there is an incline which means you are gonna miss some of what is happening high up if possible i would ask if i can exchange them for anything on orchestra rows D-T or Mez rows A-L

ive seen wicked from th loge[front of balcony] and it was great, you could see everything. so that would be about Orch Row P, but Row X seems a little far ack, and IDK if you will miss some stuff happening at the top of the stage[because of the dress circle overhanging], but it shouldnt be that big of a problem.

jersey boys ive sat on the uppermost balcony, 4th level, looking at down at everything, but even there the view wa fine, except for missing the fron of the stage completely. from where you sit, you may have this problem since your kinda in the back in the dress circle, but otherwise should be fine.

as said before, theres hardly a bad seat in those houses, even though they are pretty big. have fun!

yea i agree that the angle of the show is quite different. :]

they're good seats, so enjoy the show! both are amazing shows.

Thanks! Has anyone done the lotto for wicked in Chicago, or JB Rush?????????

I have seen Wicked about 7 times now and tried to get better seats about 5 of those times. My name has not been pulled out of the hat once. Funny story though, one time when I was there a lady's name get pulled for tickets, and then two names later she was called again! Imagine how much that would suck. I know they say they go through each piece of paper before the show to check for doubles, but I really have a hard time believing that.

I have also done rush once for JB and that was very early on in the run. There were not a lot of people that showed up. But I don't know if the line is longer now that word is getting out about the show... I mean I really think a lot of people have no idea about the rush tickets.

Thank you for the help! I saw Jersey Boys last night for the first time and it was fantastic. My seats, however blew. Granted, they were partial, but It just depends on the theater and show. I missed all of the projections and the upper half of the actors were were on the second level of the stage. I took my mom so we joked about it and just moved after intermission. Once we moved to row c in the dress circle (we were originally g) we were perfect. We are seeing wicked tonight so I will post later!

for Jersey boys, DO NOT get dress circle or rush. The dress circle has a huge overhang and you miss alot of stuff that happens high up and the stage is high and from row A and B you cannot see anything downstage, you miss ALOT of the show
