Dramedy -- the row F is not far to the side, three seats in -- my main concern are tall guys blocking my view. Though I may bring a pillow to sit on.

Hey, some of us tall people do our best to scoot down as far as we can and get our giant bodies out of the way of the people behind us :)

yesterday. About to sit in my same seat for 15 years. I am 6.2", broad shoulders, not overweight. Before I even sat down woman behind me asked that I change seats with my wife so I would not block her view. Of course, doing so would have blocked view of woman sitting behind my wife . She didn't care…was only interested in her own view. (She was on the aisle behind me and I wouldn't have impeded her view.) I scrunch down anyway, pass gas, and snore but hey. I immediately decided I did not like this woman. Went and set with the ushers in the back. We had a great time but I admit I was pissed at this woman. Guess I am an old grumpy white man but this woman's sense of entitlement really got my goat.

I'm 6 foot 5. I can usually help a little if I get creative and at least try and keep from moving my head around too much. I do remember sitting down in my seat for 'Hedwig' and barely being able to fit in the seat at all, let alone slide down a little bit.

at SF ballet, the guy in front of me is tall and constantly moving his head every few seconds. really annoying. just sit still so i can find a sight line around your head.

Oy, don't even talk to me about moving heads, bobbing heads. This is why I try to get left/right aisle seats or seats in severely raked theaters whenever possible.

I know people can't help being tall but it does seems whenever I sit on the sides in the orchestra on Broadway I usually have a head blocking my view. And I'm not that short -- 5' 8'.

I don't have a problem with the mezz in this theater in Row A or B. Further back becomes problem.
