@moonwest okay so let me clarify: as a fan of the actors you’ll love being up close, especially if you’re sitting near the aisle ON THE LEFT SIDE because that’s where ben always takes off his clothes lol. if you’re on the other side, the desk will cover him from the waist down while he’s putting on his corset and getting into his shapewear. i just got lucky in that respect! but the downside was that i was too close and the stage was too high. i would have preferred to be on the raised seats behind us (anything from the 8th row onwards i think) because i couldn’t always see what was on the desk. i couldn’t tell ben was painting his nails until i sat up some more and leaned over to the side. and it felt like the lighting exposed more of the set if you sat in the back. this is obviously great for folks who paid $50 a ticket - i’m so happy the view for everyone will be good. that’s how it should be. so yeah, positives and negatives... worth asking the shed if you can change seats if you wish!
@nothingtosay if you enjoyed bakkhai and anne carson’s work, i think you’ll love this and i am VERY eager to hear your thoughts afterward! bakkhai is not something i personally would have seen, but this show has a modern appeal i figured i would enjoy more. definitely know euripedes’ helen before u go! and i didn’t go to the stage door because it was the first preview and i’m sure everyone just wanted to go home, but i would totally urge others to try! ask the staff where it is - i didn’t find out. u know the drill ;)
