Where to seat for Jersey Boys?
I am looking to buy tickets on Broadway box for Jersey Boys and have found, left orchestra row E seats 9-11 for 180, right mezzanine row A seats 6-8 and left mezzanine row A seats 5-7 for 200. Which are the best ones for viewing the stage? I was thinking of seeing Driving Miss Daisy and wondering if anybody knew the good and bad seats in that theater. We will be going Dec. 8-12 so I thought I should get tickets early.
Thanks
Thanks

I saw it in Chicago and don't think any of those seats would be all that different. It's not a show where you need to see someone coming down from the ceiling.
There are backdrops digitally for this- if it is being done the same way. And honestly, if it were I- I really like those visuals during the songs and would not want to be too forward.

We have a bias for orchestra, and row E is about as good as it gets. The seats are a bit angled, seats 5 and 6 off the aisle but I think that wont be a big problem.
Not a big fan of the mezz. particularly the first row. Sometimes there is a metal bar directly in front of the first row mezz that can be visually annoying, not sure of that particular theater.
You might what to ask the question on Talkin' Broadway, it's a theater forum where all the theater aficionados hang out.

Before spending that kind of money on tickets, I would check out telecharge first (telecharge.com). $180-200 is higher than the box office price. Since you are not going until December, I would think you'd have a good chance at getting good tickets without spending that kind of money.

You can't call the theater directly. Telecharge is the "direct" way, unless you can physically appear at the box office. So, you may be stuck having the pay the higher prices.
I guess the Christmas season is making your ticket buying a bit of a problem.

irish, I don't know. Someone said you'd asked me a question so I checked this first -
http://www.jerseyboysinfo.com/broadwayTips/
Based on those tips, it looks like you snagged some of the best seats* in the house.
I saw it at home (national tour) and loved it. Would love to see Driving Miss Daisy too. If you ever come to Atlanta, the Preservation Center offers a walk of the DMD neighborhood. I've been meaning to do that forever...
Enjoy your trip. You're going at THE most magical time of year
*Row A Mezz is wonderful for ANY show. I grabbed the furthest left seat for Sondheim on Sondheim and hated getting to the seat (in the old Studio 54) but loved being above and close to the performers (especially Barbara Cook)

We saw Jersey Boys on Broadway. It was great. That theater isn't very big, so my observation is that all the seats are pretty good. I think you're going to be fine in the Mezz.
I'd prefer Mezz. seats for RC. I've seen the show twice. Once from the Mezz., and once about 20 rows from the stage. The Mezz. is better because you get a full view of the spectacle.

ps - It sounds like a great trip already planned, but if you decide to fit in another show consider Million Dollar Quartet. I LOVED it.

we went 2 years ago and sat in Row k orchestra,and paid alot more than that.They were great seats--the only issue i found with the seats,and probably all the seats in that theater, is that for a big pertson like me, (Im 6-4, 220) they were a little tight.In fact the guy in front of us, who was taller/bigger had to leave and stood up the seat was way too small for him.So if thats an issue,id get ailse seatsWe went to South Pacific as well, and those were fine.Its a great show,especially if youre from that era,like me.

I know how you feel my husband is 6'4 and sons are 6'2 & 6'5 so they are always having hard times fitting. This trip is for me and a dear friend who is celebrating 12yr cancer free breast check up. So the seats look okay for us maybe snug with coats.
Starrs & valtor, I'm checking to see if we have time for one more, We have orch section 4 row dd seats 407-408 for radio city christmas show, Starrs said these were close but good seats I won't have to tilt my head back. Plus jersey boys and driving miss daisy. We are also doing tea at the St.Regis. Looking at the christmas windows, shopping at Bryan Park, seeing the tree at the Met is there something else we should see? We have been to nyc before so we have seen all the tourist things, but we haven't been at christmas and this time we just want to take in the beauty and celebrate life.So if anybody can think of some fun things were open. Will be there from dec.8-11(were playing hooky from school, were teachers).

definitely go to Rockefeller Center to see THE TREE.Its kind of neat to do a little skating there as well--if you do that, go thru Tiffanys--they let you tour thru.If the timings right, have lunch/dinner at Morrells wine bar/cafe right across the street on 49th--and St Pats Cathedral is pretty awesome as well
