Posted: 7/4/05 at 7:13pmI was balcony first row..scary as hell being that high up and that close to the ceiling, but amazing view!
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Posted: 7/4/05 at 7:46pmyea walking down to the seat is a bit scary but balcony 1st row is really good.
A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it,
but all she really dreams is to make someone
else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer.
And that is so beautiful-Anonymous

Posted: 7/4/05 at 7:55pmYou can't beat it for the price. The view, as previously mentioned, is steep, but otherwise fine, and the sound is no problem. Chances are that you will be able to move down at intermission, which many in my group did when we saw the show in May. The view from the mezzanine is fabulous, and there were plenty of seats there. No one gave us any grief about moving down, which you get at some theatres. Some people opted to stay in the balcony, so it's not awful if it's not possible to move down.

Most.frightening.theater.experience.ever! Well, besides Brooklyn.
In all seriousness, the seats are very, very steep. The last time I was there, a girl had to be moved because she was hyperventilating from the angle and the height. Yikes.

Posted: 7/4/05 at 10:20pmas stated above, but the view is one of the better balconies.

Posted: 7/4/05 at 10:22pmIt's definitely a good view and at that price, you can't go wrong. It's just really steep, yo. :/

Posted: 7/4/05 at 10:36pmI'm not usually afraid of heights, but I definitely can't handle sitting up there. I get really scared that I'm going to tip over and plummet to my death.

Emcee, you're not alone. Walking down those stairs is frightening. I love me some Cheyenne but next time, I'm going to drool over him from the orchestra!

Posted: 7/4/05 at 11:18pmThe New Amsterdam is even worse. I shelled out an extra $25 bucks and got half price orchestra seats for ASU. Worth my money not to feel like I was going to die.

i sat up there. Its very steep, but great view. make friends with the people next to you, everyone can help each other not fall when you go through the row.

Posted: 7/4/05 at 11:32pmIt is high up but once the show starts you won't be thinking about the height anymore and you definitely have a good view. Plus, the price is unbeatable for when you're on a budget!

Posted: 7/4/05 at 11:42pmThe box office guys at the San Fransisco Opera (where I was an intern) have a saying about the balcony, "Once the opera starts, the balcony goes down," meaning that you don't notice the height once the theater is dark and you're just looking at the stage. It's pretty true.
