& JulietFairly wide with plenty of legroom. You sit roughly at the height of the stage (the rake gets steeper after this row). The sound design was impressively dynamic from here. The padding left a lot to be desired.Orchestra CblocHrangée105place

ChessSold as partial view — you miss some of the band and set elements on stage left, but only a couple lines are delivered out of view. You can see about half of the projections, which didn't detract from my experience at all. Decent rake in the orchestra. Great seat! Especially for rush price.Orchestra RblocJrangée22place

Oh, Mary!Solo lottery for Oh, Mary! Full view. Missed a little bit of the couch and the piano on stage right, but just a few tiny moments. Old theatre so very little legroom.Orchestra LblocFrangée9place
-
The Lion KingSolo lottery win. Amazing legroom. You still really get a sense of how impressively big some of the animals are, and the first number of Act 2 is better from the mezz!MezzanineblocDrangée132place

The Book of MormonDecent rake, nothing at all obstructed by the mezzanine overhang. Definitely close enough to see facial expressions. The sound/lighting tech's box is immediately to the right of this seat, so it is not an aisle seat.Orchestra LblocSrangée9place

WickedThis photo is taken with the 0.5 focal length setting on an iPhone. It is very close to the stage — the dragon at the top of the proscenium arch extends out over this row (cut off at the top of the picture), as do the flying monkeys in Act 1. You don't get as full a view of the entire set as you would a few rows back, or in the front mezz — but you get a REALLY up-close view of the company and downstage left that makes up for it. Absolutely nothing to complain about, and unbeatable value for the lottery in my case. Make sure you leave time to walk around the lobby of the Gershwin — marvelous!Orchestra CblocDDrangée118place

Just In TimeMost of the far part of stage right, including the entire drumkit and three quarters of the piano, was obscured by the pillar to my left. Probably the worst standing room space in the house, or tied with the mirror image space on house right, so if one of those gets assigned to you, I'd ask to move. All that said I would still buy this space again because I'd much rather see Just in Time with Groff from here than not at all.Standing RoomblocAisle 1rangéeSR 5place

The Outsiders“Tire zone” seat (sold as rush/30 under 30). This seat (B1) is probably the only viable one in the “tire zone” because of how much of the action is blocked by the tire. But this seat is very close to the action in the opening number and at several other points during the show when the tire and the ballet rail (just out of view on the left of my picture) are featured. I missed some moments and couldn't see the whole stage at once so I missed getting the full impact of the lighting and other special effects at certain moments (e.g., the rumble scene). Unless you sit in B1, I think for a first timer it's worth paying more to sit elsewhere and see the whole show.Orchestra LblocBrangée1place

Marjorie PrimeStudent rush for Marjorie Prime (full view). Less legroom than some other theaters, and there is no aisle on the right side. The rake in the orchestra is pretty good.Orchestra RblocLrangée10place
-
Hell's KitchenLottery seat. The right side of the moving set (that holds some of the band members — some of the actors also climb on it at various points) is blocked by the mezzanine overhang. No crucial moments happen up there. Otherwise decent view of the stage, especially for the lottery.Orchestra RblocJrangée22place
-
The Great GatsbyStudent rush. Great up-close view of the actors and some of the most exciting moments (especially the pool scene), but you miss some of the upstage action and you don't get a full picture of the set and features. Still, not bad for the price.Orchestra RblocBrangée9place

All Out: Comedy About AmbitionFantastic for a lottery seat. A little too close for some of the comedy and the upstage moments of Lawrence, but otherwise delightful. The stage slides back for parts of the musical numbers (and for the Oatsy story both times I saw it).Orchestra CblocAArangée112place
