The rakeRake continues but the section is far back in a very deep auditorium. Rows are wide, so side seats sit a long lateral distance from center.

Seeing over the row in frontUnobstructed but distant. You watch the production as a complete picture; individual performers become small figures.

Partial-view risk: LowNo obstructions, but the top of the proscenium can cut off the highest scenery from the final rows.

Distance & detailUp to 110 ft from the stage — the farthest mainstream seats on Broadway.
