  • Booth Theatre, section: Mezzanine C, row: F, seat: 105
    Kimberly Akimbo
    $40 rush. Close to center. Great sightlines for choreography and seeing the lockers, bedroom, library, and band (obscured in box seats.) The only downside is hardly any legroom (not great for tall folks).
  • Mainstage at the New York City Center, section: Balcony, row: B, seat: 161
    The Light in the Piazza
    $28 Access Club. Loved the stadium seating. Still able to see facial expressions. Sound design fairly good except some dialogue was obscured by audience coughing/sneezing. Just missed the backdrop detail behind the lofted orchestra and entrances upstage.
  • John Golden Theatre, section: Rear Mezzanine R, row: H, seat: 116
    Prima Facie
    $45 rush (waited beginning at 4 AM). So worth it. Ms. Comer’s electric award-winning performance was visible/audible from the very last row of the not-deep theatre.
  • Broadway Theatre - 53rd Street, section: Floor Side 3
    Here Lies Love
    $145.50 (after code). This space is much bigger than at The Public, so I had to tiptoe/crane my neck sometimes due to tall people. Excitingly immersive, easy to exit afterwards. Would prefer floorside or front mezz next time to more fully see the staging.
  • James Earl Jones Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: AA, seat: 109
    The Sign In Sidney Brustein's Window
    $40 digital lottery seat. Deliciously close enough to see the set details and actors’ faces. Not much happened on the second level of the set, and I didn’t have to lean back as far as I’d thought.
  • Lena Horne Theatre, section: Left Box, row: A, seat: 1
    Six
    $35 digital lottery ticket. You miss seeing some of the Ladies-in-Waiting band but are close enough to see the actors’ faces and costume details. Amazing value!

  • Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, section: Orchestra R, row: EE, seat: 36
    To Kill A Mockingbird
    $36 lottery seat. Not terrible — able to see the full stage but would have liked to have been closer to better see facial expressions. Unfortunately was seated behind tall people and had to crane my neck but a great value nonetheless.
  • Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, section: Orchestra R, row: Z, seat: 22
    Pretty Woman
    $36 digital lottery. Faraway enough to see choreography formations and the stage, not so much facial expressions.
  • Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, section: Balcony L, row: V, seat: 5
    Six
    Second-to-last row of the venue. Excellent for seeing choreography formations, not great for seeing facial expressions without opera glasses. Still excellent sound.
  • Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, section: Orchestra R, row: C, seat: 16
    Waitress
    Partial view seat for the tour’s closing performance; not much happens in upstage right corner. Deliciously close enough to see facial expressions.
  • Metropolitan Opera House - Lincoln Center, section: Orchestra L, row: X, seat: 35
    The Magic Flute , Die Zauberflöte
    $25 digital rush. Close enough to see facial expressions, far away enough to see the full stage. The overhang didn’t detract from the experience.
  • Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, section: Mezzanine L, row: C, seat: 27
    Parade
    $45 rush. Viewer misses part of the projections on the back of the stage, but the seat is otherwise great (same price better view than the boxes) and conveniently located near a staircase directly exiting to the street.

  • Booth Theatre, section: Left Box, seat: 1
    Kimberly Akimbo
    $40 partial view. Would recommend seats in the right side of the theatre to catch Seth’s booth and scenes at the lockers & in Kim’s room.
  • Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: Standing Room, seat: 103
    Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
    $40 standing room behind last row of orchestra seats, left of booth. Unobstructed view, including the moving bridge; will need to run to the aisle to see bows. The center wall is fine for those 5’ & taller, while outer walls are best for 5’3” & up.
  • Longacre Theatre, section: Orchestra L, row: N, seat: 10
    Leopoldstadt
    $35 rush seat. Close enough to see facial expressions, far enough to see the majority of the stage (except the far upstage left corner — nothing much happens there).
  • Vivian Beaumont Theater, section: Orchestra L, row: N, seat: 110
    Camelot
    Lottery seat. I love how VB is stadium-style seating. Slightly obstructed view (you miss the first moments of Lancelot’s entrance) but otherwise good seat (Arthur enters to the left of this row as he climbs the “tree”).
  • Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, section: Orchestra R, row: C, seat: 122
    Summer, 1976
    TodayTix digital rush seat. Spacious enough to stash a bag on the floor in front of viewer, if needed; close enough to see actors’ (the incomparable Laura Linney and Jessica Hecht) facial expressions.
  • Al Hirschfeld Theatre, section: Orchestra L, row: F, seat: 11
    Moulin Rouge
    Amazingly-priced ($119 instead of $179 like my neighbors), super-close (several actors including principals use the ramp directly in front of seat for entrances and during scenes), spacious. Good if you want to be up close without breaking the bank.
  • Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, section: Orchestra R, row: C, seat: 20
    Moulin Rouge
    “Partially obstructed” seat ($105ish total). Deliciously close. Not much happens in the upstage corner (action is central). Near the brass section. Loved seeing facial expressions and costume details, plus no seats in front of me and easy egress.
  • Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, section: Orchestra L, row: W, seat: 3
    Moulin Rouge
    Lottery seat one from the aisle. (My mother sat in 1, on the aisle.) Could see choreography formations and actors’ facial expressions. Elated to have heart confetti blasted onto my mother and myself at the conclusion of the curtain call.
