hey. i am thinking about taing my mom to see the show on mothers day and i was wondering how the dress circle view is and also the balcony. thanks for your help.
If possible get orchestra. Definately not balcony... the Hilton is HUGE so balcony is reeeeally far away... The very front of dress circle isn't bad but orchestra seating is best and if possible the left aisle... not tellin why...

I disagree completely. I was in the first row of the balcony and the seats were fine. In fact, I was happy that I didn't pay more than $65 for the ticket. Although it's a good show, I don't think it's a great show...definitely (in my opinion) not worth the price of orchestra seats.
...not even going there...amazing show...completely worth orchestra seats...
hey. thanks for both of your opinions. its all up to my mom though.
It's a very big theater. The closer you can get the better.

I'm in Chicago, that's plenty close to the stage for me.

Madcap, you don't have to "go there". I'm simply trying to provide Yankees with more than one opinion. As a Mel Brooks fan, I was excited to see the show...it was funny...but I don't think it would've been worth the $120+ to sit in the orchestra. But this is just me...I rarely pay full price to see a show. I'd rather see it...it doesn't matter to me where I sit, as long as I can see the stage. I actually prefer to sit higher up so that I can take the whole show in.
There is also the front row lottery which hasn't been all that difficult as of late ~ especially if you've got two people entering it. $26.50. That's about all I'd pay to see it personally.
