 I see some cheap tickets available described as partial view..Just wondering how partial they are..Has anyone had these and how much do you miss?

Depends on the area. Most likely these are for the upstairs seating, which can be pretty partial if you are in the last row. I had to stand to see some of the show and since it's an immersive theater you can't always see everyone. 

There's also "Twisting view" which I don't know if it is sold as partial view. This is at the tables but you have to turn your back around almost the entire show. This is totally fine and you see everything.

Either way you can still see a great show at a fraction of the cost, just be ready for the definite partial view.

I have sat in the upstairs partial view. They aren’t bad. If you have the option to chose your seats and you sit in the center aisle seat it’s labeled as partial view but it’s not partial view at all. That’s where I sat and It was a full view seat though it was labeled as partial view. I don’t really remember much but maybe it was only moving around a head once or twice

The upstairs partials were AWFUL. The other ones weren’t bad at all.

Twisting view isn't sold as partial view because you can see the action with minimal movement, at least at the show I attended (back when Carolee was still in the production). Even when you did have to move, it was only a head tilt, I recall.

If that is the only way you can afford to see the show, go for it.  We sat there when we saw it and although we were sorry to miss some action from the rear of the floor (underneath us, effectively) we still thought the show was amazing and we were glad we had bought those tix.

 

And then they did the $50 deal for floor seats and saw it from there and it was even more incredible, but zero regrets for buying the cheap seats upstairs.

There are only 2 rows upstairs - I sat in the first row and only missed a tiny bit (nothing concerning).  MOST of the people in the 2nd row stood throughout the entire show to see.

I've sat in partial view upstairs twice, and it's fine. I'm pretty short, FWIW.

I hear standing is the best bet for those seats as well. Although if you sit in the back on the floor level, things can get cut off too, and you’ll miss a quick moment upstairs. If you happen to be a student, they also have little-advertised student rush tickets that are super attainable for $39.
