Hey Ya'll -
I hate to be bothersome (even more than I am to you wonderful folks), but I'm curious... I want to purchase tix to XANADU. The best available seats in the orchestra seem to be coming up as Center Orchestra, Row BB. I've never been to the Helen Hayes, and am wondering if anything would obstruct my view of the performance? What's the stage like? Sightlines, etc.? I know it's probably a stupid question to bring up, but you know me... I'm full of 'em! Any insight would be appreciated.
Best,
- Mike

These are great seats! Get them while you can.
(The stage is low at the HH)

I think those are the best seats you can get pretty much.
I'd get them if I were you.

Since everyone has been kind so far, would BB (2nd row) be preferable to B (4th row)? Those are what's coming up for me. It is a "small" show so perhaps closer is better?
Thanks.

actually, epending on where the BB seat is, it may be front row... the stage has a very.. interesting.. layout. Front fow was just fine for me. I also sat last row of the orchestra and it was great as well. The show has big AND small moments and nothing will be missed in either place.

Posted: 6/23/07 at 10:41pmWell the BB (2nd row) are 101-102 (on the aisle) and the B (4th Row) are 108-109 (in the center).

Well, with this stage, both seats are technically second row of the theatre....
BB 101-102 may be slightly better as you will have a few more feet to make turning to see one of the scenes in the house easier....

Posted: 6/23/07 at 11:31pmSat in BB 101-102 for the first preview. A lot of action will happen to your left. Sat in B 111-112 a few days ago, prefered those.
Well, I'm glad he got away with it.
