Once I was playing Tracy in Hairspray and for some reason mid show my mic died. Probably the more stressful jobs I had was coordinating the wireless mic beltpack changeovers when there wasn’t enough for every performer and between costume changes I never get a crick in my neck from looking up (possibly because I can usually rest my head on the back of the seat) so close to the front is great for me. Frankly, I don't care how much legroom there is (or isn't) but whether seats are staggered, and what sort of rake there is, does. Plus consider what matters to you when picking a seat - I'm short so a tall person directly in front of me will really ruin my show. If you're going to a venue that is not on any of these sites (I recently went to the Opera in Vienna and I couldn't find the Austrian equivalent) - try searching Google photos and Instagram for the venue and look for photos taken from the stage into the auditorium, that will give you some idea of the seats with good sightlines. They include international venues too but I noticed when booking Broadway Tickets recently how much I missed the expertise of Theatre Monkey. Nothing beats the smug feeling of knowing you paid half the price of the person you are sat next to or in front of, or paying a reduced price for a 'restricted view' but you happen to know that, for this show, that merely means you'll not be able to see one performer's feet for 30 seconds.Īlso SeatPlan and A View from My Seat collect photos from different seats, these are really useful for setting your expectations (and deciding whether you actually just want to go up a pay band). Theatre Monkey collates reviews of all seats and then puts together a seat plan by value. What you really want to know is "what are the best seats for the money?". Most people will tell you to go for central stalls a few rows from the front or the first row of the mezzanine (depending on the safety bar) but they are also usually the most expensive seats.
