Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo

I saw this starring Robin Williams as the tiger. I sat in the middle section of the orchestra, row G. They were perfect seats. Unfortunately, the show was not.
The show previous to this was In The Heights, where I sat in the 1st or 2nd row mezz off to the right, and I felt like I could've been slightly closer.

The Normal Heart

Tonight I saw a breathtaking piece of theater, The Normal Heart. It's about the AIDS epidemic and how it was taken back in the 70's when no one knew what it was or how to get it.

I sat in row K all the way on the right side of the house. The theater has an aisle down the middle of the theater rather than 2. These were great seats. It's under the mezzanine but I could still see the top of the sets. Nothing was partial view.

I previously saw Driving Miss Daisy here, also sitting on the right side, closer to the wall than the aisle, but for that show, there were NO sets and it was a cast of 3 so there was nothing to miss. This was also the theater that Avenue Q played at for many years which I had seen multiple times. The rear mezz is a little far, but this is a small theater so I usually tell everyone that no seat is bad.

Born Yesterday

I saw Born Yesterday this week. I sat on the left side of the house, orchestra, about 6 rows back. Great seats. I was slightly too far left to see the door that actors exited through on the left, but c'mon, it's a door.

I had also been to the Cort theater to see Time Stands Still and once again, I sat in the same area. It's a smaller theater, usually only for plays, but has a mezzanine AND a balcony. I have yet to sit in either section.

The lead actress, Nina Arianda was superb. If you can catch this show with her in it, do so. It's worth the money.

Warhorse

We saw War Horse recently at this theater. OMG people, this play is amazing! "Life changing theater" is how I've been describing it to people. I hope it wins best play this year at the Tony's.

Anyway, now that I've gotten that off my chest...

The theater is smaller than most (1,100 capacity) so it feels intimate. We sat in the mezzanine, first row, off to the left and we had no real problems. I do think that we would've had a better view in orchestra, but I think that's true for all theaters. I would try and stay closer to the center if possible, but every seat in this house seemed good. We sat in the 100 section in the mezz.

The Metropolitan Opera House

Last night, we saw Don Quiote at the Met and we sat in the Dress Circle. We were second row slightly off to the right. It was a little far away for my taste. I couldn't really see any facial expressions.

The ballet was great and was one of the more acted out ballets. Aaron would see it again.
