| It's all I could get slash afford for a family member this winter (for a Christmas gift, last minute) who's been trying and failing with the lottery. How bad? Box H, I'm assuming, lines up with row H in the front orchestra. What you lose in upstage corners you gain in proximity. I saw the show from the rear of the mezz back in 2015 (but for $89), so I understand trade-offs. I'm guessing -- if memory serves -- that "Say No To This" and maybe "Take a Break" for example, are not fully visible, depending on which box. And maybe some things up on the upstage rear gallery, barely used in the show. The show is very downstage and if not always center, it's intimate. The box office* was reassuring, stressing proximity makes up for angle and a few lost moments. I've never sat in boxes on B'way, because I never had to. But for "Hamilton," we break all rules. Especially when buying last minute tickets for a holiday 4 days away. I was happy to land on this. Will I regret it? Probably, for the price, it's a bargain. This show is insanely expensive now. A 4th row seat by the wall for Easter was $549. That was the cheapest, and they only had 3 in the house. The other were close to $1000. *By the way: the most patient, generous spirited, and frankly kindest box personnel waited on me. Even held one seat while I made a lengthy call in the lobby. And then promised me a seat if someone else didn't use it (took it). Maybe I expect the worst these days, and especially at a window where they must be beleaguered from people making unexpected demands. This was one of my best box office experiences in NY. And I've lived here sincce '79. All surprising, all a gift. |
