    I went to see wicked a little while ago. I was in section BBB it was a pretty good view. I was on the end, my friend was next to me and she could see pretty well too. I heard it was a much better view than the left side in the orchestra section. I would encourage you not to spend money on orchestra section and buy a different section's tickets instead.

    Anyone know about the view from row B (orchestra level) on the left or right side of the stage? How about 2nd row center?

    I got tickets and we are in the last row (U) balcony on the way left side. I was just wondering if anyone knows how these seats are? Too far away? Obstructed views? Thanks!

    I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on the view from the 2nd row of the balcony (Row F), left center section. From the photos I've seen, it appears that there is a metal hand railing that extends up from the front row of the balcony . Does anyone know if that railing would obstruct the sightline from the second row. Also, does anyone have any opinion of the view from the balcony generally.

    Shame on the ticket personnel at the Oriental theatre. I paid for orchestra level seats with a reported "full view" of the stage. A sizable portion of 'stage left' was obstructed. Makes you wonder if the ticket seller pocketed the extra money for 'full view' seats. This was for the Sat. 01/12/08 2pm matinee. Steer clear of the ticket seller with the dark hair and goatee unless you're feeling charitable! In spite of the seat price rip-off, the show itself was excellent (at least the part that I could see - smile)
