If anyone knows about the question I asked earlier about the mid-mezz seats could you please PM me?

I sat in the Rear Mezz and although you're pretty far away, you can see everything perfectly and I had a great time. Also, my seat was right behind the Mid-Mezz and it was like $25 or $30 less.

Megan's was a 5 x 7. Not sure about Eden.

Thank u so much!

Has anyone sat in Orch. Row X seats 101-104 and/or know the quality of them? Thanks! =D

Okay. So I know that an SASE is a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope...but I think I just realized what that means. lol. You don't mean like a regular letter envelope do you? You mean like a manilla envelope? If so, then I should probably re-send my mail. lol. Hopefully that made sense.

megans pics are 5x7

i sat in row x for Shos last.. not sure of the numbers tho....pretty good...

I have always sent mine in a regular envelope and got replies from 3 already. All 3 replied back to me in manilla envelopes. I think as long as you include a SASE they are likely to reply back. Hope that helps.

I Know this has been posted many times...but when is Megan leaving agin?

Megan leaves May 28th -sob-

I was wondering has anyone written to 'The cast and crew' (As a whole!) in Broadway (Or chicago) And has gotten a reply, and if you sent a SASE..

Out of curiousity, what's the general consensus on what the decent seats are at the Gershwin? I know it's sometimes a matter of personal taste, but...

I mean, I sat front row was to the left at the tour in Philly. Couldn't always see the backdrops or anything on the extreme left side of the stage, but I adored it beyond belief. The Gershwin's stage is set higher than the Academy's, though, so I'm not so sure close is better there.

ive literally sat all around that theater....from front row side, to front row center, to in the back of the the orch, to mid orch, to front mezz, to the lights of the mezz .....my suggestion for a first time person in the gershwin.....front mezz....it doesnt give you the "quality closeness" to the actors...but it gives you the view that is AMAZING....you see the entirity(sp? HAH) of the show....you see everything and you dont just focus in on one persons face or what have you....its one thing if you know a person personally and want them to see you and all that...but thats my opinion on seating in the gershwin....but overall all seats are decently good.....it doesnt have the major cut off side seats like philly and boston does....the partial views are still technically orchestra

Thanks! I was thinking front mezz seemed pretty good. :-)

How are the orch. seats that are under the mezz overhang? The mezz overhangs the orch. starting at a certain row... right?

I really enjoyed my seats that I had Friday. They were PV, and I missed only when Elphaba was at the top of the stairs, and the students heads blocked the lion cub. But I knew what was happening, and we were so close that you could see EVERY expression, it was so worth it.

PopularGalinda, what were your seats?

mezz overhangs over row m or n....either o....they dont really ruin views....its really your opinion on what your going for....facial expressions or overall viewing

So I'm guessing seats in row EE of the front mezzanine are pretty good, right? :-)

Every seat in the Gershwin is good, even the last row of the balcony is good. Trust me.

I had Orchestra A, Seats 16 and 18.

And trust you I shall.

What can I say? I'm not used to all-around good seating. I'm accustomed to the Philadelphia Academy of Music, where countless seats are... kinda horrible. Well, not REALLY horrible. But decently bad. Oy.

Thank you very much, though. :-)

Lol. ANOTHER question, I'm sorry. I thought I'd post here though rather than making a new topic.

SOOOO as many of you know I live in England, And I want to send a letter to the cast and crew (As a whole) I was thinking, If I were to buy a postal order, do you think someone will go into the post office and change it up or something -Hopes they will-

the first time i saw Wicked, i was in row A of the front mezz right in the middle and it was amazing!!!!

THanks so much for all this lovely information.

Can I still write to Megan? Will they forward it? And do you think she still has promotional Glinda pics to sign?

Quick question. I'm wanting to go to New York next summer. How far in advance should I order my tickets to Wicked?

seats: for both times i have seeen the show i sat right orchestra row c ( i think? are there cc for rorchestra) , i sat in 2!! It was REALLY god viewing especially when the actors are on the stage left clock panel thats like farther out

tickets: we ordered our tickets less than a month before the show and got tose seats BOTH time however we use the actors fund so they are a bit cheaper, theres a member fee ( i think) and there are always 2 seats reserved for most shows on broadway and those just happened to be their seats

writing megan: from what i know i think they will forward it to her

Ok. I'm pretty sure I'm going to order them way in advance. Like October or something. That way I'm sure I've got them.

Yeah I wrote to the cast (and I listed all their names at the top, lol) and got a signed playbill. I didn't send a SASE, but if you live in England I would.

Question--how are the double-lettered rows set up in the front mezz? I was looking at the seating chart but it doesn't make much sense. Obviously they're in front of front mezz row A because they're on a curve but... I'm just a little bit confused. Typical.

If u are sitting in front mezz those are really good seats. You will not miss a thing. :mrgreen:

does the gersh have a balcony?


im not buying tickets or anything but in the seating chart it dosent look like it does lol

no, it only has an orchestra and a mezzanine.

oh thats cool i guess

Isn't the mezzanine a blacony? I always thought that was what it was....mmm....I'm just ignorant!

no the 1st level is even w/ the stage and its called Orchestra, the 2nd level is called Mezzanine and if there is a 3rd level its called Balcony. I've sat in Orchestra and Balcony, and balcony REALLY sucks.

but ive been told that there isnt a bad seat in the place

How is BB5? That's my seat for Eden's last. Should I keep that seat, or switch with my mom, who has CC9?

P.S.- I'm tall

Psssst...Switch with your mom :fryingpan:

either way your getting a stair case in your view lolol....your gunna have to duck around to see it...but if youve seen the show before it doesnt matter....ive sat in cc9 two times....kristin, norbert, and joels last show....and for jen laura thompson, carole shelley, and george hearns last show....i have pictures from that view if youd like to see them...let me know

Nessarose is probably talking about another theatre, in which there was a mezzanine and a balcony (the balcony being the third level up). Officially, the Gershwin has only a mezzanine, though in reality a mezzanine technically is a "balcony." It's just named differently (and in the Gersh, the seating is fine in the mezz).

This probably seems really confusing. :ha:

I'm trying for the lottery on the June 17th matinee in NYC. What are the odds of getting in? Like how busy is the lottery on a Saturday matinee? jw

Not really a question pertaining to the show, but next summer I'm planning on going to NY to see Wicked. I'm wanting to stay about 4 days. I was wondering if any of you that have stayed in NY have a guess-statmite of how much money I should bring?

For fanmail, do you send your mail in a normal envelope and somehow include a SASE? Also, how much postage should you usually put on the SASE? Thanks!

True, I wasn't talking about the gershwin i was talking about the Bushnell Theatre Balcony (in Hartford) i had balcony seats and they were crappy, u can't see what people on stage even look like!

I believe the normal size of an envelope is 8x10 (correct me if I'm wrong), and just fold another one, with postage and filled out with your name, address, etc. and stick it in the envelope. I use 2 stamps, but I don't know if it depends on where you live.

so you fold the SASE and put it inside the envelop the letters in?
sorry for sounding like a such an idiot lol. Thanks for your help!

I'm sure there are other ways to do it but that's what I do.
You're welcome!

Yeah, I was in the nose bleed section when I saw the Les Mis tour in Shreveport and everyone looked itty bitty and you couldn't see any faces. It was terrible.

How far is the Novotel Hotel from the Gerschwin, and is it nice there?

your basically not even a block away from the gershwin....the hotel is 226w 52nd street....the gershwin is 222w 51st street...it will take you 2 seconds to walk there...literally...and it looks pretty darn nice to me....but ive never stayed there so i cant tell ya from experience...but ive walked passed and its quite nice
