| The first time I saw it I was quite near to your seat. It's was fine, not great, but fine. The second time I was farther up in the same section - maybe row M? - and I liked the seat /view better. To repeat what I wrote earlier: this cast of this production is stellar, and it's def worth seeing in either seat. |

| We were in about the 6th row house right against the wall and were fine. When we took our seats before the show I was worried. Once the show started I didn't feel we were missing anything. | |

| M 508. A TDF ticket. It was fine. 2nd time seeing the show. Preferred Ambrose to Benanti but Burstein to Butz. Both were wonderful evenings. | |

| Not good at all....its the second row, way too close for this beautiful production. Hopefully you have 501 as opposed to 509 which hugs the wall. | |

| The first time I saw the production, I sat in the second row, fairly far to the right (maybe four seats from the rightmost aisle?). The second time I saw it, I sat dead center in the loge, maybe four rows back. The experiences were very different, but both had their advantages. The seat that was farther back and in the center gave me a better view of the choreography, the spectacle of the set, and the orchestra. All of the "big" stuff was more enjoyable from this vantage point, BUT... ...despite being a big, grand, old fashioned musical, so much of My Fair Lady consists of small scenes, solos or--shall we call them?---solos with backup. I might even venture to say that all of the BEST material in MFL is the material that occurs on this scale. For these moments, I much preferred the seat in the second row, which afforded me the opportunity to watch some first rate actors do incredible work. (DISCLAIMER: Both times I saw it, I saw Ambrose and Butz; I can't speak to Benanti or Anderson and Burstein.) |

| Last April, the first time I saw the show, I sat in the last row of the loge, dead center, and I really loved it, although I did have to use binoculars during some parts. The second time, I wanted to be closer, so I sat in orchestra left C 101, and I was very happy. The staging created only very minimal obstruction, mainly during "Get Me to the Church On Time." Other than that, I thought it was a spectacular view. I think you'll be more than fine in row D, which is the third row. | |
