    For Hamilton, I would recommend seats middle and rear orchestra or front dress circle. You won't be able to see the actors's feet if you sit too close to the stage, let alone the fabulous lighting.

    When entering the front doors, go all the way to the right. In the corner You will see the floor painted to match the missing mosaic floor tiles.

    Book of Mormon was hilarious! But,being short it was hard for me to see from the last row of the balcony and the roof slants.It was our first time here since we live in Indianapolis.

    Choose seats that are higher up and centered over seats that are lower and towards the back or sides. Lots of obstructive views here

    Decent theater in Chicago. If you are sitting in balcony, go down one level to the mezzanine for the biggest bathrooms with smallest lines.

    I was in the 2nd row and the stage was high, so I did not have a good view for the very expensive seat.

    I heard the language in this play is really blue. So why do I see kids. Bring your offspring at your own risk. Save the moral outrage for Fox news

    If you're seeing Jersey Boys bring sunglasses. There are a couple scenes that get rather bright. Other than that it's a great show. :)

    Don't sit in the balcony if can avoid it. Very high and steep view of the stage.

    Such a more intimate venue. Only drawback--wait for Ladies' room, but they extended intermission for the misses.

    The theatre is beautiful but the staff are incredibly rude. Theatre tickets are expensive so it wouldn’t hurt them to be at least somewhat polite to guests.

    If you're in the balcony, take care going down the steps, especially if you are in heels.

    Bathrooms are located in the basement. Men go to right upon entering the theatre, women go to the left.

    The mezzanine is a bit chilly. Make sure to bring an extra layer!
