Posted: 2/28/07 at 7:51pmhow is it? does anyone have pics from the stage from there?

Posted: 2/28/07 at 7:53pmThere are a few regular chairs there instead of traditional theater seats. The view is fine since it's not that large of a theater.

Last row sounds very daunting, but it's not. I had a fine view of the stage when I saw it sitting from there. No, the actors don't look like ants. Give those seats a shot.
Edit: Your being able to move depends on how crowded the mezzanine is. DROWSY doesn't have an intermission so you'd have to get up during the show so you can make sure you aren't sitting in the seats of any late arrivals.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 8:05pmUssually the mezzanine never fills all the way, so right before curtain you can look around for empty seats and move. Also i sat in row h of the mezz and they were great. Higher seats are better at this theater.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 8:54pmSeats are fine. You probably can not move but you wont miss a thing.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 8:58pmIt would compare more to the neil simon than the others, but not much.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 8:59pmWhen you are sitting in the orchestra, it looks pretty far but it actually isn't that bad. For the price, it's totally worth it.

I've never been in the Neil Simon.
Actually, I've never been in the rear mezz of the Marquis.
If it's better than the Lunt-Fontanne's rear mezz (which I like), then again, the price of the last 2 rows is a very good deal.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 9:08pmThe seats are fine. Everybody on this thread who has posted has said that they are fine. Take a chance and buy them, for $25 it's a great deal.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 9:10pmYou can also try the lotto that day, and if you win, sell them...and you'll be sitting in the front row for $25 per ticket.

They will most likely.
I was in the situation, and before I got the words out of my mouth, two people tapped my shoulder and wanted to buy them from me.

There is no set date for his leave.
Speaking of pictures from the mezz, there is a picture of Sutton sitting up in the mezz...I'll try to find it, but if anyone beats me to it...

Posted: 3/1/07 at 12:56amthey are not comparable to the Neil Simon in my opinion at ALL. i find them to be a bit like the Al Hirschfeld if i would say anything. but CLOSER. they are the best kept secret on Broadway (in my opinion). you can see EVERYTHING.
