Al Hirschfeld theatre Kinky Boots

Are seats in Row P on right side orchestra ok for seeing Kinky Boots?

Best seats are left side orch IMO, as that is where most of the entrance/exits and several key scenes btwn Sands and Porter (and Porter and his father) and Lola's girls take place. But that said, I have had right orch seats in middle of the section and it was great. Lots of big flashy numbers that you can see from anywhere. Unless the seats are at the very far end of row P, I think you'll see everything and certainly hear it all, they BELT out the songs!

I don't think this will be a problem. I was closer to center, but I saw this from row P on the right side. There's a big musical number (the one from the Tony's with the conveyors) that begins on the right side and might be a bit obscured if you were far over.

Make sure you visit the exhibit about Hirschfeld on the Mezzanine level during intermission.

How far left? There's a considerable difference between being on the aisle in P and being "against the wall" in P.

Are you looking at the website for tickets? I've learned that their idea of "best seats" available is not always the same as mine. They'll put you in the extreme side of one of the rows under the balcony before they'll put you in side section first or second row mezzanine seats -- which in my book are infinitely better!

Thanks all. NeoPatrick is right. When I rejected the first seats offered, I actually got much better ones. Got third row mezzanine on left.
