    Titanique
    I did not like the view from this seat as it felt too far away from the stage. For Titanique, It felt like an obstructed view due to the fact I could barely see anything that took place on the runway, if at all. I was craning my neck throughout the whole show. This seat is nice and centered, but the distance and raking made the sight lines terrible. The seats were chairs instead of typical theater seats.

    The Play That Goes Wrong
    Obstructed view for The Play that Goes Wrong! At first I thought this was a great seat, it’s a small and low stage so even being off to the side, I still had a great view of the whole stage. I was close enough to see the actor’s expressions very well. However, this show has a little booth way up high on the left wall. There is one character who spends most of the show up there and it’s impossible to see them or what’s going on in the booth! Thankfully an usher let me move to an empty seat on the right side of the theater. It was farther back, but so much better since I could finally see the entire show. This would be a great seat if it wasn’t for the little booth in this specific show. Would not recommend sitting on the left side at all!

    Some Like It Hot
    Aisle seat. As someone who typically likes to sit close and center, this seat felt way too close and too far right. The distance might have been okay if it had been center, or being so far right might have been okay if it was further back. But the stage is big, so the combination of distance and angle made it hard to enjoy the view from this seat. Some Like it Hot is a spectacle with big dance numbers, and I had a hard time taking them in from this seat. I struggled to see what was happening on stage left. On the other hand, it was pretty cool to see the actors so close up! But overall, it was hard to appreciate the show from this seat.
  • St. James Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: G, seat: 112
    New York, New York
    Great seat! I could see the whole stage, and the actors up close. However, the raking isn’t very deep so the sight lines are noticeably worse than at most theaters.
  • The Kennedy Center Opera House, section: Orchestra C, row: R, seat: 114
    The Lion King
    Super comfortable seat! There is an open aisle in front of you so there is plenty of legroom and space to move around. These aren’t regular theater seats, they’re actual chairs that can be removed for accessibility. Great central view of the whole stage. For Lion King, this seat felt too far away for my personal preference. This show doesn’t have much of a set, and the focus is on the actors/costumes, both of which weren’t super clear from this distance.
  • Al Hirschfeld Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: H, seat: 106
    Moulin Rouge
    Great view! I could see the whole stage, and the actors up close.

    Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
    Good view! The stage is very high so I probably wouldn’t sit closer than this. Sweeney Todd has a bridge on stage. I felt I could see the actors on here just fine, except maybe not their feet, which I was okay with. However, I had to look up a lot to see them and this did make my neck sore by the end. This seat was pretty close but the actors felt a bit far away compared to Row E in most theaters. I was happy with this seat as I had a good view of the actors expressions, which compensated for the high set pieces. Please note the seats are extremely tight and there is little legroom (I’m short, so this isn’t a problem I typically experience). My seat mates and I barely had room to move without bumping into each other, we had to make ourselves small which was uncomfortable for a long show.
  • Stephen Sondheim Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: G, seat: 106
    & Juliet
    A perfect seat! Stage is lower than most so the actors feel very close. Great distance to see the whole stage and the actor’s expressions. For & Juliet, this seat has a fabulous view of the entire set, set pieces, actors and choreography. A great show to view from the orchestra.
  • National Theatre, DC, section: Orchestra C, row: F, seat: 107
    Beetlejuice
    Great view. I could see the whole stage, and the actors up close.
  • Hippodrome Theatre, section: Center Orchestra, row: CC, seat: 114
    Six
    Extremely far away. This is a big theater so I felt very far away from the show. Hard to see the actor’s expressions. The mezzanine overhang blocks the top of the stage, but this was okay for Six, since it doesn’t have much of a set.
  • Majestic Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: E, seat: 109
    The Phantom of the Opera
    Great seat right in the center with a perfect view of the chandelier action! I was worried this would be too close but you can actually see the whole stage very well.
  • Westside Theatre Upstairs, section: Orchestra C, row: D, seat: 111
    Little Shop Of Horrors
    Amazing seat! Not too close at all! A little off to the left but I could still see the whole stage. It’s a small theater so it felt like an intimate performance. You are very close to the actors (at about eye level) and can see their expressions very well. Thanks to the step incline at each row, you don’t really have to worry about the person in front blocking your view.

    Parade
    Very happy with this seat! For Parade, the stage is high and a lot of the action takes place on a platform on the stage so I probably wouldn’t sit closer than this. At most I couldn't see the actors feet when they stood on the platform, but that was fine. Far enough to see the whole stage but close enough to still see the actors expressions.
  • The Kennedy Center Opera House, section: Orchestra C, row: G, seat: 106
    Into the Woods
    Great seat! Very close and perfect for seeing the actors expressions. Nice view for Into the Woods, where most of the action happens at the front of the stage. Some of the seats in this row have double arm rests (like this seat) which is really nice. Seats in this row are mostly staggered from the row in front so your view is between the two people in front of you and not directly behind one person.
  • Al Hirschfeld Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: F, seat: 104
    Moulin Rouge
    Awesome seat! It’s the fourth row after the can can seats. It’s very close and a little off to the right, so sometimes it's hard to see things on the very far left or deep into the stage, but it was worth it to get to see the actors expressions up close. For Moulin Rouge, I wouldn’t sit this close if you want a full view of the stage as the dance numbers usually have a lot going on all over the stage. During certain parts, I definitely had to turn my head from side to side to be able to take in everything that was going on. For me, being this close really immersed me into the show and I loved it!
  • Walter Kerr Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: G, seat: 113
    Hadestown
    Great view, I could see the whole stage. A little hard to see the actors when they’re sitting on the balcony but this was brief. From this vantage point you can’t see what happens when the platform goes down, but I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything significant. Worth it to me to see the show up close.
  • Richard Rodgers Theatre, section: Orchestra C, row: J, seat: 109
    Hamilton
    Great view. I could see the whole stage, and the actors up close.
  • The Kennedy Center Opera House, section: Orchestra R, row: Y, seat: 14
    Wicked
    Really far back. I could see the whole stage but since this is such a large theater, it was hard to clearly see the actor's faces. It also didn't help that this seat was off to the right. Did not enjoy the view. Felt very far removed from the show.
  • Lyric Theatre, section: Orchestra R, row: F, seat: 26
    Harry Potter and The Cursed Child
    Way too far to the right. But nice to be able to see the actors up close.
