Overall, a great view. Due to the fairly steep rake of the mezzanine, neither the bar nor the people in front of you cut off any sight lines. For this production in particular, it should be noted that you won't be able to see through all the windows in the set, due to looking down on the stage from above and tall set pieces obscuring some views. However, these issues did not take away from the overall performance.

Great view of the stage!

Dead center seat in the last row of the Rear Mezzanine. Cheap seat with a full view of the stage but sight lines are definitely a bit tough. Sound is fine.

Awesome balcony view of the stage. The City Center is fairly cavernous, but the sight lines from the lower balcony are still great.

I could see the whole stage and all the action, though sight lines were a bit strained. Sound was perfectly fine. Photo taken post-show with the stage lights on.

Wonderful seats! Could see and hear everything perfectly.

Fantastic seat. I could see and hear everything. Hartford Stage has some of the best sight lines and sound design of any theater I've been in, so while this seat is fantastic, there's not really a "bad" seat in the house.

Pop-up stage in Hangar 3 with General Admission seating. This view is from the 6th row back, dead center. Seating unpadded, VERY tight, and on flat ground.

Definitely a partial view seat. You see about 85% of the action at any given time. I was very glad to have been able to move closer to the center at intermission, due to some empty seats next to me.

You see all the downstage action, but being high up in the balcony means the top curtain (below the proscenium) cuts off the top of the stage. You don't miss anything important, but you won't get the full effect of the production. Sound is loud and clear.

Perfect view for a concert-style theatre performance like "Assassins". May be too close to the stage for some. The large majority of the sound comes from the actors themselves and not the microphone.

Front row partial view seat, purchased via rush ticket. You'll see about 95% of the action and will get the thrill of seeing and hearing the actors up close!

Given how open the Ordway's Music Theater is, a center Gallery seat like this one is a great place to sit if you want to see a Minnesota Opera performance without breaking the bank. The stage actually seems closer in real life than what this photo depicts.

You can't always see or hear clearly when the actors are facing away from you, BUT you literally get within inches of some of the actors and the action is all right in front of you.

At the very least, you get a great view of the Hartford Skyline!

View from the standing room spots behind all the seats in the section.

Great view and in the shade!

Among the best of the cheap seats. Just a couple of rows back from top of the lower level and right near the corner flag. The entrance to the U.S. Team's locker room was at the bottom of the section, so there were numerous close-up views of the players.
