Sightline description: A third or so of the stage is blocked. Unless the action was taking place up font, stage right was not in view. They have nerve selling these seats as full price/full view. They should be labeled as partial view and cost, at most, half price!

(Though I still loved this show)

Sightline description: The sight line was excellent. There is no bar or railing along the front mezz.
Seating comfort:
Seating description: There is a bit of leg room and the seats were not too bad as far as theater seating goes. The only problem was that every once in a while you would get a burst of heat from all the lighting on the front wall of the mezz. It was not bad because the A/C was working very well. It was not constant but every once in a while you would feel it. I still would highly recommend these seats.
