Hey! I have front row center seating in the balcony (second mezzanine) area of the Palace Theatre to see Legally Blonde: The Musical. Can anyone tell me how this seating will be? I read on Wikipedia that nearly every seat has an obstructed view and that the balcony is hard to sell, will I be missing the action onstage?
Seating at the Palace Theatre on Broadway?extension
I don't think I've ever seen anything at the Palace.
However, if you're truly front row center, the seat should be great. There surely can't be a support column right there! :-)
There may, however, be a bank of lights jutting out. If so, they might block your view of the orchestra pit, but I doubt they would intrude on your sightlines of the stage.
Oh, wait -- I just saw the part about your checking Wikipedia, so I went there myself. Very, very strange. I cannot imagine every seat in an entire section having an obstructed view. The only thing that pops into my head is that perhaps the slope in the balcony is not angled enough, so that people in the back see more heads than stage space. If THAT's the case, you're in the clear -- literally! -- since you're in the front row.
If, however, you get there and the view really is blocked -- and if your ticket does not specifically have something printed on it that informs you of the obstructed view, you would be within your rights to get up, find the house manager in the lobby, and demand either better seats or a refund.
Good luck.
