I've seen the show twice (different groups of friends wanted to go see it). I love the show and I haven't met anyone in person that hasn't liked it.

The first time, I saw it in Row B of the Mezzanine level. The view was awesome! You can see absolutely everything, without being too far away. I highly suggest these seats over the Orchestra seating (row T - which is where I saw it the second time).

Thanks!

We built the witch levitate machine at our shop, I think there are 5 versions total in the world. I engineered the LA and Japan versions.

It's really great to see people enjoying the show.

Sorry for all the bumps guys, but what do you think of these tickets?

as close as possible, or is it actually better to sit back a little?

Where are you going to see it at?

I went to The Ford Theater at Chicago and there wasn't a bad seat at the house.

Pantages in LA.

So like 4-10th row Orch should be good yeah?

not that I've seen it, but from what I hear about the show, sitting further back would probably be best. It's one of those spectacmagorious productions where you won't be getting the full effect if you sit too close.

It is my wife's favorite musical and I thought it was amazing as well.

We saw it in Chicago.

We sat in the balcony a few rows back from the front and it was awesome seats.

I'd highly recommend it.

You'll never watch the WIzard of Oz the same way again...

That is my concern...

So now I got leads on Orch row 2, Mezz row 2, Mezz row A. So out of THOSE, it would probably be Orch row 2, or Mezz row A



There goes seeing dream theater

I'm a fan of Mezz level when it comes to Musicals. But they tend to be more expensive, depending on the show.

I've never seen a real musical before. I know. Singing in the Rain IS one of my favorite movies of all time though...


I've seen FooFighters @Pantages, 4th row Mezz before and I thought they were pretty good seats. Looks like I'll try to pick these up.

so did you end up seeing it? i just watched it this weekend, and it was a good musical, though probably not the best i've seen.

Just saw it last week with the wife and daughter. I went along, reluctantly. But now I am more jacked about it than they are! Fantastic performances all around! Two thumbs and one other appendage up! I say go for it.

dude..that gave me a super wrong mental image damn it.
I just imagined you verbally saying that review, lying naked in bed; then at the last sentence, all of said appendages just pop up along w/ the two thumbs... You top if off my maniacally smiling at the camera and give either a wink or your teeth goes "bling!"

great...



anyways, I haven't seen the play, and I really don't want to see it either. My brother said that it's actually pretty good, but he wanted to see it from the beginning. As for me, I'd only go if i can get some arse afterwards.

You're imagination leans toward gay...

i saw it. g/f said it was differnet then the book.

seat location i didnt think was to important. we had a side view and i thought that was fine.

the play itself was alright. not really my type. but if your a fan of the book or oz i think youll like it a lot.

i'd hope so, the book was pretty awful.

What the best way to get broadway tickets? Ticketmaster? They seem to charge $7 extra for a ticket.

I took my fiancee out to see it last year. I can't stand theater in general, and this was no exception. I was bored throughout the entire performance. Not to mention, I get irritated that the seats in the theater are so small, you have to sit shoulder to shoulder with the people to your left or right.

My fiancee loved it though.

That is why you get to really lean in close your girl for a couple hours.

I went with the gf and it was definitely a great show. I don't really like/enjoy musicals, but this one was great. great set, great acting, singing, all of it top notch.

I have never seen the musical, but I read the book it was based on. The story is very good and I have heard very good things about the show.
