IS there any section that is better to sit in than another at Circle in the Square. I realize that since the show hasn't even begun previews, no answer can address Godspell, but I'm looking for traditionally what is played to.
When I use a discount code, the first tix offered to me are the 400 seats and then I get offered tix in the 100 seats. So far I'm not getting offered anything in the longer side sections.
I know that a well directed in-the-round production shouldn't really matter where my seats are, so I'm just looking for any words of advice you may have.

Posted: 10/9/11 at 12:22pmThe one time I was ever in that theatre was for ...SPELLING BEE, which obviously wasn't totally in the round, and I sat in one of the long side sections in the first row. My observation while I was there, though, was that no seat in that house could possibly be bad.

Posted: 10/9/11 at 12:58pmI would think it shouldn't matter, if the show utilizes that kind of stage well. But, when I did see The Miracle Worker, I was in the 100 section. It was fairly good for most of the show, but I missed the moment with the water and well because their backs were turned to my side. I mean, I knew what was going on, but it would have been nice to actually see Helen's reaction.

Posted: 10/9/11 at 7:52pmI usually see where premium seats are located, then try to sit as close to them as possible. Godspell premium seats are located in the lower 200 section.

Posted: 10/9/11 at 7:56pmI sat in the 400s section for THE MIRACLE WORKER and it was an awful experience. The actors spent most of the evening with their backs to that section. Also, the chairs in that section were a lot harder and more uncomfortable than in the 200/300 sections, where I sat for THE NORMAN CONQUESTS. In short, I'd avoid it if you can.

Posted: 10/9/11 at 7:59pmWatching the rehearsal videos, they seem to be really be using the round rather well. I can't imagine that any seat in the theater is gonna be bad. I'll be in the 400s for the first preview, so I will be sure to report back on Thursday night

Posted: 10/9/11 at 8:12pmI opted for a seat in the 100s. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
