I sat in third row center for Women on the Verge..., and it was a great seat.

I would have gone with third row center but I'm always concerned about someone tall sitting in front of me. So I opted for side aisle near the center in Row B which is one row further back. I hope the show is worthy, who knows?

I would love all previews to be cheaper. I took advantage of The Play That Goes Wrong's $25 deal and it was money well spent.

I told some friends about it and they asked if it was worth seeing. I sent them The NY Times review from a few years ago and said it’s worth going for $40 orch seats.

the problem is how high is the deck.

Belasco doesn’t have a high stage, but a deck added for some shows can make it high. Farinelli for some reason seemed to be high.

Yet I know some people liked those banquette seats. First row is definitely too close at the Belasco which is why I was asking.

Which makes a difference regarding where first row is.

I sat in the second row for Twelfth Night, and it was awesome. Of course that was a deliberately low-tech show, and I didn't need to see the entire stage at once for special effects. I tend to like to sit close, also. I think the third row would be excellent.

I’m not sure why lowwriter is being evasive. Gettin the band back together has $40 seats today for all previews. Tickets can be purchased at Boxoffice but also tele-charge.

I wasn't being evasive. I was simply asking about seating.

Though I must admit if they weren't offering this discount for 24 hours, I probably wouldn't have bought tickets. I couldn't get to the box office today so I bought online.

But stating

Seeing incoming show, a musical.

Is more letters than the over long title of the show!

Seeing the incoming show, a musical. Can sit in third row center orchestra A or side row B on aisle.

I think both seats would be great. It depends on if you like an aisle seat or not. I assume you mean the center-ish aisle.

I would get orchestra center aisle A but I could have Tall head in front of me. I guess Row B side center aisle would avoid the head problem.
