Is seat A13 a good one?

nooo! I hope you didnt already buy the ticket. Its like the third row all the way to the side. It should be listed as partial view. Wicked should be seen from like 10th row and beyond but thats just my opinion.

Damn. And I paid full price. Damn damn. THanks for the responses though. I agree, Namo. I'm required to see it again, which is the only reason I'm setting foot in that theater.

Sometimes the ticket booth will allow you to change seats if they have availability but I think this show is selling out every night so good luck. I have seen the show 3 times and the first time I was on row 3- TOO CLOSE... I sat near the back of the orchestra on my 2nd time and in the balcony 3rd time. This is such a VISUALLY stunning show that you will get a lot more out of it sitting a little further back. If you sit too close, you really do miss a lot of the lighting design which is simply incredily (especially during One Short Day and Defying Gravity). In either case, you will have a great time but you will definitely want to rush back out and buy another set of tickets to see it again... take advantage of the lottery too- I've won it once!!

My tickets were in row J of the orchestra all the way house right-- last two seats on the aisle. They were labled "partial view", so I was skeptical, but it turned out to be great. True, if someone entered from all the way upstage, all the way right, you might miss their face taking the first step on stage, but that was it. As soon as the person took a step or two, you could see everything. I didn't miss one word of dialogue, b/c none of the action takes place in that corner, and most of the business takes place down center. But I was sitting a number of rows further back than you, so that probably helps a great deal with the sight lines.

Hmph. I have tickets for row EE. The person on the other end of the phone said 'E' the whole way through the conversation and then right at the very end as he confirmed it he said 'EE'. I just thought I misheard him.

Are they that bad? At the end of the day it's just a seat. I mean, I'm still going to see Wicked, it's not like my seat is in the road or anything..

"I have tickets for row EE...Are they that bad?"

Well, you are on the 5th row and I've been in that area and loved it. It's close, but I didn't think it was too close. Have fun!!!!
